Childhood Indoctrination

Where in the world you're born has a MASSIVE influence on which religion you tend to follow.
The religious tend to speak in absolutes (like a Sith Lord haha!) but the world is little more than a distribution of probabilities.

I wasn't yelled at my mom to be Christian when I was a kid

No sane adult can believe the things Christians believe without heavy childhood indoctrination and emotional abuse.

Really

By that logic, no sane adult can believe that cells turned into fish, then into monkeys, then into humans because of random changes and energy without childhood indoctrination by public education and stupidity
Besides, if that were true, then why are there still Christians? Why haven't people eventually realized that all of this is just child indoctrination and the other crap you put on Christians to make them look bad?
Maybe...
Maybe because it isn't.

Nice attempt at oversimplification, but you'll need to try harder.

Jokes on you, I got to a private, LCMS-based school and have been in Christian schooling since I was in preschool. Sometimes studying Christianity enough will reveal the stupidity by itself.

I don't think you know how indoctrination works. It's difficult to see sense after going through that since it's been hammered into their brain at a young age. If you tell a child that they're going to hell if they don't listen to what you're saying and enforce that until they're an adult, they're going to have a lot of trouble getting that out of their head.

If someone told you the same thing for 18 years, over and over and over, it would be stuck in your head for a long time before you can reason it out.

How do you know that every christian ever was indoctrinated? You are not everyone else. Not everyone had the same life experience as you. As .999 said, personal anecdotes are not evidence. So stop pretending that every christian was indoctrinated. Please stop lying.
By the way, I don't care you went to a Christian school. It doesn't always prove your point, I hope you learn that.

No, they were. No sane adult would believe the things Christians believe.

My bringing up my Christian education was to refute your statement that I've never read the bible.

I didn't say that, and now you're looping back around to your previous argument, to which I can reply with that nobody can believe the things evolutionists believe without intense brainwashing, either.

Open a book other than your bible once in a while. I know they have some big, scary words, but try reading a science textbook and figuring things out for yourself.

Oh, I forgot. 2 Corinthians 5:7, "For we live by faith, not by sight." (we believe what we're told and without question)

For example, I wasn't told for 18 years that I'd go to hell if I didn't listen to my parents. Again, stop pretending everyone had the same life experience as you.

Of course not, you can't have 18 years of that when you're only in 8th grade.

Ad homenim

Sometimes that's what you have to resort to when people are as ignorant as christians.

Personal anecdotes are not evidence.

You don't even have evidence of childhood indoctrination causing people to believe in God

Childhood "indoctrination" within Christianity obviously exists to some degree (why are so many children of Christians Christians themselves???), what you should instead argue over is why "indoctrinating", or rather teaching your kids about your faith, is a morally good thing

And yet you never say anything when an Atheist's kid is an atheist too

Everyone is born as an atheist.

No.... I was an agnostic at 9

Personal anecdotes are not evidence.

Well then 2hat am I supposed to give you? Video proof my parents never abused me?!?

Bro never responded 🥀

It's barely been a day and you're already getting impatient?

Others don't exist for the sole purpose of getting you what you want when you want.

Doesn't your bible tell you to have patience and to be selfless? You might want to check it out once in a while.

Lol
