Hell and the Play Nice Christian

[The Reality Salesman01]

As an interesting aside to this discussion, it's worth pointing out that children of religious upbringing have more difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction than those of secular households.

You call that a study, far to few children to call that an accurate study and all from one area. You could read different things into such a study, like this. Children of religious families have a better imagination than those of secular families, the proof is that only the religious aspect stays with the children when they get older. And to conclude the children of secular families a boring prudes when they grow up.

66 kids were pulled from a mix of private, public and religious schools in Cambridge MA, and the surrounding area. Yes, GC. I'm sorry the data points in an unfavorable direction but I have a feeling that your sense of delusion is as strong as anyone's and you'll have no problem convincing yourself that it's the experiments fault that those poor kids have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality. It couldn't be that religious people are predisposed to believing stupid shit, right?
