Seeing elderly conservative email inboxes is so sad. Especially if they've ever contributed to a campaign, the "please give me more money" emails can be so abusive.
That was basically the answer he gave me when I asked what separated us from a cult. He must have forgotten all the evil done in the Christian God's name because Christianity also has a history of being dangerous.
First drop of doubt for me began at a Wednesday youth service. Not only was I such a strong believer that I went to church in the middle of the week, I drove myself because I was the only one in my family who wanted to go. The youth minister was giving a class on cults and the more he spoke the more it sounded like my entire life was being part of a cult. Following that thread led to me finally admitting to myself that I don't believe anymore about 6 years later. It was a long road with lots of doubt and denial but that one sermon on how to identify a cult woke me tf up.
I get what you're trying to say here but the amount of effort required to suck your own dick vs just jerking it makes me think it's not nearly as equal of a comparison.

So you'll only care about children dying in school when the numbers go up even higher than they already are?
