Should Red State parents expect their kids to be traumatized by "Christianity"??

Seems to me like we have a real problem, and maybe it's because we haven't decided if how and whether public schools should cope with the non establishment clause, or maybe it's just a question of whether we are a "Christian nation" and what that means, but in the meantime, I'm worried about our kids, who are caught in the middle.

"Traumatised"? Trauma? Really?

You might be "traumatised" by surviving an aeroplane crash that has killed most of the occupants, or having been a victim of years of cruelty evil though not actually dangerous to your life; but what do you mean here?

It is clearly wrong to indoctrinate others into a narrow belief shrouded in ignorance and distrust of others, by parents as well as schools; but it would hardly be shocking to be taught about religion properly. In fact that should be right.

What do I mean by " religion properly"?

So you gain a balanced knowledge not only of Christianity but also the world's several other main religions, so you can make up your own mind which or none to follow; whilst also understanding and respecting the beliefs of others and their right to those beliefs without harming others.

It should have nothing to do with party-politics either, Establishment or not.

Non establishment does not mean freedom from religion genius

@Slade Read the post again, and the link about how some of the kids have been "traumatized" by the brand of "Christianity" they were exposed to.

@MistyCee The Advocate? A legitimate source?

Couldn't find Pravda?

@Slade It's a frigging local newspaper. Its been bought by a Semi Trumpist/Republican toadie who's fired most of the non loyalist staff, but it's about the best that there is in Trump voting state as far as permissible news

PS. I got pissed off with the response, but tbh, the crap with John Georges and his acquisition of the TP and the Advocate is more complicated.

Post Trump's war on the free press, though, it's the best source of local news, and I'm happy for every non explicitltyl pro Trump politically correct story it publishes.

Bottom line, it's far from Pravda, but it may well have been influenced by the same sources.

Once someone figures out Christianity they leave. And many enter therapy to recover.

@Crazywaterspring in your case you entered therapy on court order

No. Living in a warped dishonest hateful reality is what alot of them know, and are used to.

I know it should go without saying, but these people are not reasonable. They aren't rational or logical. You quote the law to them, and they just ignore you.
