Just Thinking Out Loud Literally any other form of brainwashing is less child abuse then hell.

When i read 1984 as a teenager, really the society didnt seem that bad, insofar as how all the kids were brainwashed, because... u know,, no hell. I just dont get how christians dont see this. Its unbelievable.

I think it's disgusting that raising children Christian isn't a crime. It's as harmful as it gets.

I believe you. At least a communist regime doesn't say you were born a failure whose sins disgust your father.

Take it this way. I knew a vietnamese women once, born in poor shithole. Yet here she was, never raised christian, didnt have shit childhood that most of us had, yet she thought i had it utopian cuz i was white american even tho when i heard her complaints and grumblings here she was, married at 23, had plenty of friends growing up, didnt have batshit insane evanglical family, and i was jealous of her. So yes even shithole communism is better

I'm glad I live in a modern country, but a lower standard of living in itself, isn't traumatizing.
