Hey! I may be grumpy, and bitter, and lash out at children, and trick people into neglecting God's Word but... What was that other thing you said? (slrpnk.net)

This is a bit more insidious than it appears- because it's asking kids to rat out atheists to religious officials.

There are absolutely areas in the US where being discovered as an atheist will ruin your life.

    It's so fucking culty to prevent kids from getting information that goes against the religious leader's beliefs as well.

    "Don't talk to the atheist! They might give you bad ideas that will send you to HELL" Literally preventing the spread of information that goes against their beliefs.

    It's called indoctrination. This is ironic as Christian Nationalists are in the vanguard against Transvestite Story Hour and panic over all the gay/transexual/satanic grooming that's going on.

    It's only indoctination if they are do it. If it's us, it's education.

    TBH, it's all indoctrination, or non of it is. The word "indoctrination" has taken on negative connotations (maybe it always was a fright word). However, I think, focussing on the word and it's connotations is, perhaps concentrating on the wrong thing. I think the spotlight should be shifted to the content of how we bring up the kids.
