RE: Sins
Surely they'd be successful with all adults if they hadn't been indoctrinated by the education system. At least as far as the theists believe.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with someone sincerely believing this crap - as long as they don't do it in the street and frighten the horses - but please don't feed it to kids.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

They're here to bring souls home to jeebus. They'll (usually) deny it, but it's all about the jeebus points that they think they're gonna get after they die.

He hasn't answered and he won't. To answer that question honestly would be to admit that he never made a conscious choice about it. No one does and I don't believe anyone actually believes they do. It's the lie they tell themselves to allow them to hold on tho their buy-bull based bigotry.

It's a slippery slope into even more depraved behavior!

I'm sorry, no adult should ever subject a child to that sort of crap. That is not and should never be "the way life is."

I've been through a lot of crap in my time and honestly, this sort of thing to do to a child, to make them carry that mentality their entire lives is just bullshit.

Why apologize? What you say expresses your current feelings about it.
But, understand, as for you... it was a burden that only existed in him as a "memory"...thoughts and feelings about an event that happened in the past. But he identified with them, thus giving them power over him in the present. They defined who he thought he was.."a bad boy" and he suffered long-term guilt and shame.

The only thing we ever have is right now. Period. So, why suffer now? Embrace the present, that is where you and everything else in the universe(s?) exists and will ever exist. Remember the saying, "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living." You don't live in the past or the future...so get out of them.
Past and future thoughts and feelings don't have to cause regret or anxiety if they are called the demons they are...ghosts...non-entities. View them as such and a great burden is gone. Pax, Peace, blah blah blah...

Hey, this is my little proof for you guys. It's about how God is the greatest sinner of them all.

Humans can sin.

Jesus was entirely human.

Jesus can sin.

Jesus is God.

God can sin.

God killed or ordered the deaths of over 2.5 million people in his own story about himself.

God is the greatest sinner of all time.

Well, if Jesus says that being gay is a choice then he is demonstrably factually incorrect, not something you'd expect from god himself. But he doesn't speak out on the issue, now does he? So then how do you know that homosexuality is a sin? What's your authority on that?

Also, you dodged two other questions I asked. If I didn't make it clear that I'm expecting an answer, I'm doing that now.

What do you have to say about the issue of thought crime in the context of intrusive thoughts?
If thought is equivalent to action, why don't we see inmates with life sentences for thinking about murder?
