My son refused to ride his bike, when they took the training wheels off. He was like, "they're there for a reason! Put them back!"
He was 8 before he decided, on his own, that he didn't want them on there anymore. There's no convincing him of anything he doesn't want to accept/believe on his own. Then when he comes up with his own reasons for it... boom... it happens, easy-peasy.
You hope for a high-IQ kid, until you realize it means they're not just gonna believe anything you tell 'em.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
