That said, no one convinces anyone towards or away from faith/religion. (unless you were indoctrinated as a kid, like me) It's a personal choice and while I think religion breeds a lot of bad stuff and it's really little more than fables and folly, I don't begrudge people to live as they wish, free to choose either path.
But, I would never go back. That was a bridge worth burning. lol
Do you begrudge people who actively lie to children (pretending certainty about such obviously subjective sentiments that comprise religious belief) and instill within them faith, which is pretty much the exact opposite of inquisitive critical thinking? Because I think that's a HUGE problem in the world and it affects us ALL.
