Thread Name: BS: An Easter Question
Subject: RE: BS: An Easter Question

You're supposed to wade in, not just read. Never admit to boredom. You have the choice to avoid threads that bore you. Yet here you are, commenting on issues that you say bore you.


The boredom comes from the predictability of the responses, and counter-responses, and counter-counter-responses.   There are other ways of avoiding boredom, such as raising an aspect that we haven't discussed before, such as, for example, why one form of indoctrination is discussed all the time and others are completely ignored.

It's a bit too easy to say I could raise threads on these other aspects, or that this thread is about religion. Of course I could do so. But that does not address the issue why there is such a disparity in the behaviours. A thread could be on any topic and if some people see a legitimate reason to reference what they see as religious child abuse they will do so. I am not objecting to that. If it is legitimate, bring it in. But they (almost) never throw in that they think the US is indoctrinating children with its daily pledge of allegiance, for example.
