NGL, I would have loved a pentagram on my ass. Would also explain the inhumane farts.

Are you lactose intolerant?
Look at you talking like your farts smell like roses.
I will always teach that bigotry is always wrong, fascism is evil, etc.
See, this is why I came here. You definitely should be teaching your kids some healthy "opinions" like treat people kindly, think critically , etc. If you don't, someone else will.
But muh sunk cost fallacy!
Athiest memes users try to recognise the huge amount of irony in a post that essentially says “it’s bad for someone to be raised believing in something i don’t believe!! But if they are raised to have the same opinions as me it’s good!!!”
Is there something you think I, an atheist parent, has raised their child to believe that isn't based on evidence of how the world operates? I teach my kids how to treat other people and the how is based on what I have seen work and not work.
I mean, sure lots of atheists are assholes. But many of us were raised religious. For sure I know more atheists raised religious than I know religious folks raised atheist. Either way folks should just let folks make up their own minds
Well I would suggest that you rise a child without any Religion until they are old enough to make own decisions. I think the evangelic church sets this age at 14 or sth. Where you have to confirm your affiliation to the religion.
The building of critical thinking skills is conspicuously missing from the general education curricula throughout the United States, and is actively prohibited by the platform of the Republican Party of Texas.
They're necessary given children have credulity built it, of which religious ministries take advantage. In fact the Good News Club is an intentional effort by an Evangelist ministry to mission to kids in public schools. (After School With Satan is TSTs response to it and teaches science and deduction skills.)
Once my grandkid is kitted up with critical thinking, I can figure he'll be adquately equipped to work out his own understanding of Life, The Universe and Everything. At least if he's holding onto religious faith then, it's serving some personal purpose, rather than yoking him into some bastard's religious army.
This kills the religion.
Education kills religion. This gives the child a fighting chance.
If letting people develop their own opinion kills a religion then that religion deserves to die.
Curiously, this is the point of the Protestant traditions Sola Fide (salvation by faith alone) and Sola Scriptura (salvation by scripture alone) which means each parishioner is responsible for deciding what passages are important and how they are to be interpreted.
But that cuts out the preacherman and makes salvation easy (assuming a reasonable deity) so much of sermonizing is about making Christians feel guilty and uncertain.
And they really dont like biblical scholars who put in check notions like biblical infallibility, or rightousness of the Hebrews.
Oh of course, we can't forget the guilt tripping.
Feels a little redundant having the fish and the cross in the same baby branding set. Also how did satanism get added to that set, these guys should get a refund.
There's absolutely nothing satanic in that set.
The pentagram is also a Neopagan symbol. Satanic symbols that aren't anti-Christian (e.g. upside down crosses) are commonly old Pagan symbols.
Satan gets a lot from Pan.
Anyone with kids knows they will anyway.
I would like join the fish religion. That's sounds like a good time.
BTW, if anyone doesn't know, but wants to know the point behind the fish, it's supposedly an acrostic that produces the greek word for "Fish": Ichthys (ἸΧΘΥΣ), composed of the words " Ἰησοῦς Χρῑστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ", transliterated "Iesous CHristos, THeou (h)Yios, Soter", meaning "Jesus the anointed, son of god, saviour".
Early christians used the symbol to mark meeting places and the like when they were being prosecuted by the Romans.
You mean it not Atlantis? I wanted to become Aquaman...
The religious would never agree to that. Their kind of indoctrination works best when done from birth, before the children have any chance to develop critical thinking skills.
In fact, it's better to stop them developing those entirely, cause once they do, it becomes a lot harder to pull them in, cause they'll always start from a place of doubt, especially if they've been educated well.
Indoctrination's worst nightmare is a well educated public who are allowed to be sceptical of you.
Yep, the final nail in the coffin of me trying to make myself believe I was Catholic so that I wouldn't go to hell was encountering the "real world" and finding it wasn't the Satanist hellhole I was raised to believe.
Here in the states it's a capitalist hellhole, but its ministers and officials who run it rather than pit-lord demons who speak in rhymes.
Yeah, that's a pretty apt description.
Satanism would have been cool if not for all the cum drinkers practicing it
Cum drinking??? Where!?
Edit: don't tease me like this motherfucker. Tell me where the cum is being stored.
