The difference between “all” and “most” isn’t important when talking about populations.

Yes, it is. It is really, really important. Thinking otherwise is just crazy. I mean, come on, are you just trying to look foolish by saying things like this?

What I was actually doing was expanding on that and showing that this kind of abuse harms minds so much that it turns people into wingnuts and even harms society.

I engaged with this already by talking about the other, non-religious things you could likewise classify as ‘abuse’ that way.

You seem to be working on the false premise that I’ve said that raising a kid believing that if they sin they’ll go to hell is just fine. I don’t believe that. I think teaching that to a kid is bad. It was taught to me, and it definitely fucked me up in some ways.

I don’t agree with your specious, bizarre connection between belief in hell and wingnuts, especially since Catholics, who very much believe in hell, tend to be more liberal than many Protestant denominations.

As usual, you’ve half-assed a theory with no actual real structure or rationale and now you’re pissy about having it pointed out that the recent ex rectum facsimile of an argument is full of holes.
