I Think Indoctrinating Children With Religion Is Child Abuse

I've been talking to a bisexual boy who is also a Christian lately.
I didn't know about it at first, but when he asked me if I believed in God and I replied with "no", he made me realize how religious people are pretty much victims of an ideology.
I couldn't resist and asked him if his family accepted him for who he is, turned out he doesn't even accept himself. He's so convinced of the idea that his entire life is a sin, it honestly hurts just thinking about how there are people spending their entire lives believing in all the teachings of their religion even if they're directly against them.
I hope one day enough people will realize how harmful many religions are fundamentally so that eventually they will be considered nothing more than mythologies.

The depths of your misunderstanding would be astonishing if I had less experience of what passes for modern culture. You have my pity.

@Emosaur You will always choose convenient falsehood over the sometimes awkward truth? How enlightened of you. Perhaps with age and experience you will see the light. Best wishes.

@Emosaur You are, of course, completely wrong about that. But never mind. No more pearls for you
