Well…read an interesting study yesterday that compared how children raised in religious homes fared against those raised in secular homes in the necessary skill of discerning fantasy from reality….and the results explained a lot to me when they found that those raised in the strictest homes that teach their children that the bible is the word of god had a huge problem telling what is real and what isn’t since they are taught that that myth is truth….and, that explains why the religious adults on the right so happily believe the conspiracy theories and the lies that are spewed at them every day from the right wing media. I think this is the worst kind of child abuse that is covered by religion..who in their right mind would doom their child to a life without this critical thinking skill? Oh, that’s right, they don’t care about that…faith is all it takes for them in politics and economics…even when that faith is proven wrong on so many fronts…geez…
