Of course it isn't. It doesn't have to. It's enough that it indoctrinates generation after generation of children, who force their kids to go through the same.
Sects don't force people to do anything. At the end if the day, it's their choice to follow.
Emotional blackmail, threatening with eternal pain and controlling people's sexual urges is what's best for them? Lying about things you cannot possibly know for your personal gain is best for people?
Maybe it works out for some.
It infuriates me how you fail to see how harmful your church's doctrine is. Maybe it's my personal bias, right.
But since you're a moral objectivist, is threatening with torture moral?
How does any of this apply to adult converts to the Christian faith?
And would it be reasonable to assume that you will raise your children to believe that there is no god? Because you believe that to be true?
But that's NOT harmful, is it? Because you believe it...
