It’s the realization to raise kids in an unbiased way and let them make their own choices that’s killing it

Without access to indoctrinate children as much as they want, religions will die out

With that in mind, watch how they focus more on children to try and survive. Disgusting social parasites

Not the lies, theft, manipulation, and indoctrination of children?

Well, at least something gets them to wake the fuck up

oh gotcha

No, not exploitative of the recipients of the proselytizing any more than usual.

The base point is to separate the cultist from their support network and put them in an unfamiliar environment where they only that the cult to rely on, building and entrenching their psychological dependence on the cult. That's the exploitation.

Yup. They're really good at rationalizing nice sounding bullshit to justify what they were already doing.

You mean despite all the reasons i just listed?

My condolences. It's such a stupid, dangerous, and exploitative practice.

In my former religion, it was 2 years in a foreign country. I'm lucky many of my family members came back alive, given the places they were sent. They "laugh" about stories of being assaulted, robbed, houses broken into, extorted and threatened, but it's a joke now because it's all part of "gods plan"

So disgusting.

(Edit: It's also a way to make sure that they face stress and doubt away from any resources that might help them out of the abuse. Instead they're at all times with another cult member tasked with keeping them on the straight and narrow. It's more a 2 year indoctrination session where the member gets exposed to anti-religious views through aggressive proselytizing, but then is forced to work through that alternate view in a directed and monitored way so that they reach the "right" conclusion. When they get back, they're so much more incredibly difficult to have a conversation with, because they've entrenched all the bullshit)

It's called an "MBA" and they are the tip of the enshitification spear

Oh you think the blues are voting in their best interest?

I have a bridge to sell you, btw. Real good bridge. Hmu in dms

The merchants have always run the temple

So all efforts to cure cancer are in direct opposition to the will of god?

…thought I was making a joke, but now I’m worried

Shoot, pay me enough money and I’ll dress up and say “I’m back!”

Well first you’d have to get the government to stop trying to manipulate people for power in the same way
