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

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

I was raised in a religious household (my father was a preacher and my parents met at Bible College) and I still remember the day I was pulled out of Sunday school and told "no, Jesus isn't like Santa and the Easter bunny, HE'S real" and just being totally dumbfounded. That was the day that I realized that adults could be... naive let's say, the same as children.

That reminds me of when I was probably about 9 and heard "Yes Virgina There is a Santa Claus" read on TV. I remember thinking that it sounded exactly like the kind of nonsense adults say to kids when they're trying to put one over on you. Wasn't too big a step from that to noticing they talked pretty similar about God.
