Yes, when given to you it is also given along with a group concept that could very easily affect kids mentality.
When you “come up with” and fully realize the ideas on your own terms you’re usually older and know what it’s like from the other perspective, which is something someone raised atheist from birth would never have.
That’s not true.
It is true.
It’s not- even being raised atheist I was still granted perspective of a religious existence
i can see where nma is coming from, i think kids certainly are especially susceptible to group mentality due to their lack of maturity and lack of world experience. this group mentality often leads to perceived superiority.
however, i think its really hard for you (nma) to assert that a2pas certainly had this superiority complex and that it certainly caused his issues later on in life. generalizations are often true for a large portion of a population but there will always be outliers and you cant say anything with certainty without having more information about a2pas imo.
No, you weren’t. You said it yourself, your parents were atheists and they only sent you to church to please relatives. You don’t have the perspective of someone who truly had faith and lived the part for years with a family that did the same.
Plus, you are speaking as if everyone who will be raised by “atheist parenting” style will have the same experience as you…
I have a lot of information about a2pas from other threads and debates. chuckles
how can u guys talk religion when our lord and savior sumail is playing dota?
pbuh
what issues lmao
Well I never wanted to bring them up but everyone knows how you’ve been suffering the consequences of your lifestyle. . . .
I don’t think anyone here has any real knowledge of what I’m like. I’m a little put off that you keep putting up these remarks that I have a personality deficit and personal issues like those are concrete truths.
Well let’s just say you spilled too many beans back on the old forum giggles
Yeah?
Lol if you doxxed my friend I posted pictures of
Born and raised Catholic. I was even an altar boy. Went to church 4-5 times a week for a while.
Then I started learning about other religions. I saw plusses and minuses in all of them. I started to doubt that my religion was the best. Then I began to question some things in my religion that I didn’t personally believe.
So I decided to look at other religions to see if one was closer to what I believe. And then I realized that I was a fool. Shopping for a specific set of beliefs that matches your own does not make you a better person. It will just make you “feel” like a better person by surrounding yourself with people just like you.
In the end I just decided to give up on organized religion, and make my own decisions. But I still value the religious upbringing that I had. It taught me a lot of things about morality and made me a better person, I think.
edit: sorry didn’t mean to get so deep on a friday night.

It’s unnecessary to apologize, you’re just leaving your mark as well. Nice post
TLDR: If you plan on having children, raise them to understand that being a good person and doing the right thing are good things. Telling them “Be good or you will go to Hell.” is not so great.
Being a good person is it’s own reward.
Yeah I really hate when people think that religion means telling kids that if they commit adultery they’ll get stoned.
idk i thought i remember u saying u had some sort of social anxiety or some other issue but maybe thats just goy club propaganda
