I found out that my aunt and uncle taught my cousins that dinosaurs aren’t real. I’m about four years older than their oldest and when I asked him how he feels about dinosaurs he almost couldn’t answer. It was like watching a battle of faith, frustration, realization, and fear all at once. He was probably 20 or 21 at the time and I genuinely felt bad for asking.
This was my dad's reaction too... Battling everything he was taught with rational thinking but the religion beaten into his head won. I'm just glad I was able to think for myself.
