Christians mistakenly praying to bones of beasts

[robvalue]

I agree, if someone likes praying to some bones, and no harm comes of it, that's totally fine. They can do it all day long as far as I'm concerned.

But when they force their children to also worship the bones and victimize anyone who refuses to worship the bones, then it's gone too far. Once you get on to telling people how to live their lives because of what the bones thinks, or killing them because the bones says so, you've utterly lost your mind.

And when there's various different bone worshiping going on worldwide, causing huge amounts of harm in various different ways, then every person who spreads the message that praying to bones is a "good thing" is contributing.

You're right, it may well be that some people are too far gone. There's some theists on this board that I could pretty much say there is no hope of them ever being free of it. That's really sad, and I have tried with all of them at various stages, where possible. The thing is, in my opinion anyway, you only need it once you've been hooked on it in the first place. I highly doubt that people totally unaware of worshiping some bones will coincidentally find themselves in desperate need of some bone worship by their own accord. No one would ever come to need christianity without coercion either. Other superstitions develop naturally, sure, but they are much more under control and harmless when it's little groups all having their own nutty ideas rather than legions of deluded people marching to the same drum.
