@Lulukaros @napierge the brain sticks to its beliefs to maintain its own sanity. No believer person in a believer family will question its faith. It's a too hard frame to break. It requires regular active support from non believers so they constantly question their situation and stop considering it like the normal thing.
It's an extreme opinion but for me, faith is a mental poison that breaks the brain.
@f4grx @Lulukaros @napierge hm, idk, I used to be a Christian as a kid (raised in an Orthodox Christian family) and then throughout high school I just gradually believed less and less until by the end I kinda just didn't at all
It didn't require any active effort from me or anyone else, it just happened, believing just gradually made less and less sense to me as time went on
@hazelnot @Lulukaros @napierge my opinion is probably stricter than actually required. Teenagers are usually eager to think by themselves and try new things, especially the ones parents dont like. But the families around us are above average bigotry, and tend to stay in bigoted circles. I am concerned about some kids i know. I really hope they will be able to escape their bigoted families and meet normal people, and then think about their own lives.
