Theism is literally childish

[Catholic_Lady]

I disagree with you that matildas claims and assertions about theists were cool or interestong lol, but i appreciate this post from you. A lot of the stuff she said wasn't even true. like that teaching a child about faith discourages thoughtfulness, takes away personal responsibility, makes you stop maturing mentally, etc. I'm not disputing that in some cases it does, depending on how it's done, but that certainly wasn't the case for me and many many others. I was taught that doubt is good because it makes you seek answers and may lead to a deepening of your faith. I was taught that it's important to understand why we believe certain acts are immoral, and there's not a single moral teaching that I blindly follow without understanding. I'd also say I'm not an immature person, but that's just my opinion I guess lol.

My usage of "cool and interesting" was meant to describe the posts made by you, RR, Neo, AM, and other theists whom I have given kudos, not the op; I don't think the op is cool because it inhibits mutual learning and dialog. As I stated in the beginning of my previous post, I gave kudos to the op because I thought it was interesting, well formatted, and presented in a coherent/concise manner.

Oh ok. Yeah, sorry I misread, thanks for clarifying! Hopefully everyone else who kudosed it did so for the same reason as you and not because they agree or think it was cool.
