It always amazes me, in a bad way, how the christofascists want to call everything they don't like indoctrination. They're literally hiding things from their own children. I get wanting to protect your children, but IMO, that's not the way to do it.

They function like a cult. You can't have any beliefs outside of theirs, you can't go against the grain, you are disowned if you leave, etc. You're not an individual human being with your own thoughts, wants, needs, and rights, you're just another number in their christofascist member log. They constantly spout things that have been proven false for decades like they're 100% real.

I saw something the other day that seemed to indicate that these types of beliefs are more engrained with boomers and silents and less so with younger folks. I hope that is the case and we can get away from this nonsense. Yet more things boomers and silents are doing to try to ruin the world before they die.

And FWIW, I've read the Bible cover to cover, unlike most of them, and a vast majority of the bullshit they spout isn't even in the Bible. They're making it up and using "religion" as a cover/excuse.

Who are silents? Boomers kids?

The Silent Generation is the parents of the Baby Boomers. So, roughly born from 1928 to 1945.
