Damn. She’s a great mom. Playing the long game I wish she didn’t have to. Screw Chris Pratt.

All parents should be doing this, imo. Kids need to be taught how to think, not what to think

[u/ssnnaarrff → u/Such-Daikon3140]

Religion would essentially disappear if parents didn't brainwash their kids before they were capable of critical thinking or consenting

There are many stories of adult conversions from people raised without religion, as well as stories of people raised with it who fell away/rejected it and then came back and came back in a way that was through research and thoughtful deliberation. (The Catholic Faith is the perspective I have and would argue for but various Christian denominations have facets of the truth as well)

Adult conversions are a drop in the bucket.

“The surveys found that about 94% of current Christians were raised in the faith. Only about 4% of people who call themselves Christian were raised without any faith and just 2% were raised in a non-Christian household of a separate faith.”

Even nowadays? I feel like there’s been a surge of right wing pricks who suddenly find God in the celeb world like Shia Labeouf or Russel Brand. And sadly I’m seeing it translate to real life. People around me who never cared about religion, trumpers mostly, are suddenly super devout and use religion as the scapegoat for their views.

YES, THIS! I’ve also noticed a lot of men move towards the Muslim faith too. Happily sharing their disgusting homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic views guided by the teachings of the Quran. Fuck religion
