I don’t think so unless you grow up with a lot of exposure to religious conflict when you’re young. How would it do that if you’re growing up in a family of only christians (or any other religion)? You wouldn’t have to think about it.
If you somehow get an atheist only it wouldn’t have those effects, but you don’t find that in America, I don’t think. Maybe Japan… Yes, japan.
Ideas of right and wrong cause that specific Phenomena - I think - not exclusive to religion. You don’t have that when everyone agrees with each other, but when you’re growing up thinking that everyone around you is wrong and you’re right it obviously causes things like narcissism to develop (case in point - won’t mention any more names hahahahahaha!)
You’re insane. I know when I am wrong and more often than not, I am.
You’re obviously not getting what I’m trying to say on purpose.
It’s basically like “don’t judge people” but “here’s a big list of ways to judge people and feel superior to them”
No - kids aren’t presented these things growing up. Religion is much more than reading Deuteronomy to your kids dude.
That’s one of the reasons that I didn’t like codified moral standards in the first place. It too easily serves as a metric for critique, especially with situations taken out of context (abortion, right to mercy/death being two that are hot button items we’ve seen viewpoints shift within Catholicism)
Having the idea from a very young age that most people around you are believing in a god that doesn’t exist will 100% lead to personality issues. This isn’t really up to debate
I think this is the first time I have agreed with the egyptian but I still dont think I can raise kids that way
When I raise my kids I’m telling them all about abortion and euthanasia.
Bed time story
I can’t either lol
Ahah! I figured it out. Tell them to ask their mother
While I was raised in an atheist household it wasn’t like that at all. Religion, especially personal convictions, were never discussed in school, I was friends with plenty of extremely devout kids and only remember having envy for their tradition and conviction to maintain their cultural practices in the US.
Well in your case . . .
I’m not going to unless they ask.
You still believed that they were believing in a god that didn’t exist - right? That’s what I’m talking about here.
Yes It was a joke. I was trying to explain how even though religious law can’t work in modern society the problems it causes are completely irrelevant to the upbringing of children.
The god didn’t exist to me, but in their lives, I could empathize. Their God or Gods definitely existed and meant quite a lot to them, and I respected that.
I think that is still - even if you emphasize with them - a factor. It is patronizing (Possibly only subconsciously) and no matter what way you put it gives an idea of superiority in one way or another.
