This is why I think Romeo and Juliet laws should be expanded all the way to the age of 30, since older teens and people in their 20s aren’t all that different mentality and despite them being smart, they don’t have much life experience and can easily be coerced with money since they’re all poor.

I think of it kind of like how the Romans and Greeks felt about other religious groups. They didn't believe other communities believed in other religions. They believed others just worshipped the Roman/Gteek pantheon, but with different names. That other gods were just the pantheon presenting themselves in ways that other communities would accept. Example. Norse God Odin = Hermes Isis had her own deity that Greeks and Roman just mixed in with their own deity. The same thing happened with Ishtar from Mesopotamia. So, I think that's kind of how the Christians view this stuff, but instead of gods, they think that other people's deities are just devils in disguise. The idea that anyone could just NOT believe is so alien, it doesn't even seem to register in their minds.

@@adenjones1802 I'm an ex-Christian, and have been one for almost half a century - I left after high school and haven't looked back with any sorrow. In the normal course of events, I wouldn't bother speaking against Christianity (because you are either a true believer or find it to be inherently self-contradictory), and here in the UK where religious attitudes are generally much more relaxed than in the US, you don't get the same level of discord, or groups like the Satanists springing up merely to make a point. But making these points seems to be necessary in the US, where right wingers are often fundamentalist Christians who seek to impose their beliefs on everyone, even on non-Christians. Issues like abortion and gay rights are in the political forefront again, with what I call Christofascists commandeering the Republican party and trying to reverse the moral and ethical progress that's been achieved in the US. The intent of the US Supreme Court to reverse abortion rights is just the opening salvo. Next they'll target gay marriage, and even the right of gay people to exist. Many Christofascists don't even disguise the fact they'd happily put women who have abortions, as well as gay people, to death. Theocracy is a threat not just to democracy in the US, but to people's physical lives. The Christofascists are thugs almost indistinguishable in thought and behaviour from 1930's Nazis - just with slightly different ideology. And while I appreciate not all Christians are fascists for Jesus - very few fit that category in the UK - in the US a lot of them are, maybe not yet a majority, but politically far more active than more tolerant Christians. The problem for Christians on the centre-left is that they find it hard to criticise the fascists without also questioning the basis of their Christian beliefs, which raises questions about their own.

Even if it's just a phone call on your way home from work; even if it's sending them a meme that made you think of them. Just letting them know and knowing yourself that this time is precious. In his case?..."I will burn in eternal suffering if I don't start following the Church. My life is consumed by it and my support system constantly praises me for being involved. If I left now it would be condemn my soul and everyone would be so hurt." I hope he works through that trauma.
