I want Iran to be made into a Christian country! Iranian kids should be raised christian as a war condition...

@JimboSaturn Iran exemplifies everything I hate about religion.

@JimboSaturn well you have to teach children something - there's no such thing as zero ideology... it's just that you're not aware of the ideology that you're teaching: materialism, capitalism, whatever it is.

@TradEmily Most humans are born with the basic golden rule. You can teach children morality, decency, humanism. These things are not dependant on religion, all people in the world naturally have this.

@JimboSaturn Being a moral, decent human is not enough to get you into Heaven though. You have to join the club.

yes, we must teach them how to pretend to be twentysomething MAGA womyns on teh interwebz

incidentally, how are you over 25 and not married yet? not very trad

@TradEmily

@ThirstenHowl shes a man who is trying to legitimacize child marriage

@JimboSaturn but seriously, how is "she" still single after age 18?

@TradEmily Many cultures have ethical codes that developed independently of religion, and human empathy, fairness, and cooperation have evolutionary and social roots. For example, secular societies like Sweden or Japan tend to have lower crime rates and strong moral norms despite being largely non-religious. So no, you don't have to teach anything.

@TradEmily russia is the same as iran, but ha sno religion
