(July 19, 2015 at 5:20 pm)Atheist_BG Wrote:Christians (no offense, Catholic_Lady, but this is what I think in principle) keep talking about "morality" (which is questionable anyway) but there's nothing moral in brainwashing kids against their will. Kids are young and naive and believe everything the grown ups say because supposedly the grown ups don't lie. Which makes the kids the perfect subjects for manipulation and brainwashing. They're too young to be able to decide what to believe and what not to and for this brainwashing them with religion is as bad as physically raping them. Altough IMO raping their brains is worse because time will heal the physical trauma but time can not heal the mental trauma of brainwashing and that kid will remain a blind and narrow-minded fanaticized idiot for the rest of its life.
This is very close (In my mind) to the Nature VS Nurture question as many people who were indoctrinated as children grow up to be Atheist. (Like myself). While I agree that religion is inherently Immoral (Because it unquestionably is), Physical abuse is still a slight step above.
I can agree that it could accurately be labelled as "Abuse".
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
