If kids these days are anything like we were as kids being forced to do something will just result in that thing being mocked, derided, and never taken seriously... Outside of the already brainwashed kids, that is.
easiest way to turn people away is to make em actually read that dumbshit themselves, there's a reason priests pick and choose a couple snippets every week...
Indeed, I had the benfit of agnostic parents and no forced church time, but I remember reading the bible a bit around 11-12 years old and thinking it was insane people believe that shit is real.
Yeah, i went to a private Catholic school. Everyone of us laughed at the bible.
Like DARE. Everyone I know who owns a DARE shirt wears it ironically.
