  I grew up in the Bible Belt and churches in my hometown would put up homophobic messages on those outdoor notice boards that you see as you drive by. Not every single one, but not none of them, either. This was going on until the late 2000s at least, I’ve heard it’s marginally improved.

    For those that don’t get it this is survivorship bias.

    During World War 2 they were attempting to figure out how to better equip the planes they had to survive. A certain statistician by the name of Wald figured out that the holes in the planes that they could track weren’t that important because those were the planes that returned. Instead it was safer to assume that everywhere else needed better protection, as the planes that received damage in those areas weren’t returning.

    Sorry if I ruined the funny, but I saw the downvotes and was concerned.

      Exactly. In this context, the phrase “I never had any bad experiences with the church” contains survivorship bias, because those who did might no longer be around to tell the tale.

  Yeah, it’s the parents. Their views are passed on with every minute in the household. Children absorb.
