    what i can’t imagine is being the adults who think it’s worth giving a single fuck about, how fucked up do you have to be to treat kids that way?
    It always makes me think of my grandpa, who was by all means raised in the kind of culture where that kind of thing might happen, but by the magic of being a basically good person he hit my dad ONCE and felt absolutely terrible about it and never did it again.

    like i get that people were raised to think differently in the past, but i don’t buy that you can be raised into accepting child abuse.

      The answer is religion. It poisoned their mind into thinking they have to,abuse their child to keep them safe from the devil’s influence.

      Did you know the Mormons don’t like red hair? They also didn’t want me to dye it… So basically they would prefer I just didn’t exist.

        … No? People love shitting on the Mormons, but that doesn’t mean spreading misinformation is okay. They have nothing against red hair. Been a member of the church my entire life and I think this is one of the stupidest thing I’ve heard.

            I’d love to see an actual source for that. I’m all for calling out the church when needed, and there is good reason to do so today, but I’ve been the bishop’s secretary before and can confidently say you’re wrong.
