Theism is literally childish

[I_am_not_mafia]

Why is this in the christian section?

Why is everyone using the word literally so much these days? Almost all of the time it's redundant too. This is literally off topic. I apologize.

I quite agree. I expected a section for theism and was going to post it there instead but couldn't find one.

Back on topic. I'm going to have to agree with OP on this one. Theism (not just christianity) is childish but it doest slow the mental maturity rate that much. Deep down everyone knows they're just bullshitting themselves with the faith they have. But fear and stubbornness keeps it from surfacing that often.

Quite possibly, which would explain why some theists have found this thread so insulting yet few have actually tried countering what I have said and largely just dismissed it as strawman arguments and wild generalisations. But I contend that it definitely can slow the mental maturity rate depending on the person. Either way it doesn't help. The brain is like a muscle in that you need to use it or lose it.
