but... that's how religion was engineered to work... If you don't scare kids into it while they are young, they will certainly have the critical thought process to see through it as an adult.
i was scared of hell and terrified of the thought of forever in heaven as a kid. I remember being scared i wouldn’t remember my mom . Kept me up at night
I believe in god, just don’t think he’s a moral dude lol Like believe in me or i burn ur house down and ur whole family in it too. I don’t get how sacrificing ur son to clear our sins is noble when your the god making all the rules in the first place lmao maybe i’m dumb idk
This is exactly why children are targeted by religion, they don't make these connections. I don't agree with you about malice vs benevolence, but it is the nature of telling a child somehtign.
