  IS there even threat of eternal punishment? Wasn’t Hell basically described simply as a place where people who don’t follow God go? IIRC the fiery depths of torturing were created because people were not really bothered by original. Same with goat lookin Satan, which at first was shown how he was described - as a fallen angel.

  Sheesh.

    It doesnt matter if we can define if it is a threat from a outside perspective with a historical context and it doesnt matter that god is actually not real because if you are a kid growing up and your parets tell you that you will die and go toll hell to be punished for eternety for some reason it has a big impact on you. These kids dont have the outside perspective or a history backround to know better, it will affect them. Even if it seems sus to them, untill a certain age kids will just beelieve what parents or other important figures tell them and if you grow up in an environment where everyone beelieves this it gets ingrained in you. It took a shit ton of time untill i aceppted that it was ok to also think guys are hot after being indoctrinated for most of my life. The deconstruction of all the bullshit and absolutly awfull morals and ethics you learn is very hard.

    Don’t worry, the ones who can’t develop a guilt complex end up becoming leaders. I said don’t worry, stop worrying!

  Because one is about living your life based on your needs and the other is about living your life based on someone elses

  Here, you can’t do any contracts before age 12 or conclude any kind of business, be it buying pants.

  But birth got you into a religious contract which the state forces us to PAY to leave. I had to pay like 30 bucks to leave a cult I was never asked if I wanted to join, because I couldn’t speak. It’s not the value that pisses me off, it’s the principle and Hypocrisy.

  GOP: 18 is too young to vote! they can’t make decisions like that at that age!!

  also GOP: of course a 12 year old should be allowed to get married!!

    I recall some comment saying 7 was legal age because thats when kids were old enough to understand the concept of sin.

      ah yes, it’s not until later they learn the “it’s not rape if it was your husband” bit

  The brain and body sexually develops during puberty. That’s a scientific fact. Children can understand that there is a Higher Power and learn about Jesus at a younger age with no issue.

    Serious conservative viewpoints/defense/apologia are not welcome on !conservative@lemmy.world. Defending Transphobia will especially not be tolerated. This will be your only warning
