Awkward Questions about Jesus (Funny YouTube Video)



While this is obviously staged it is very telling of the reality of indoctrination. I remember being very young (probably around the age of the kids in this video) and hearing similar questions in Sunday school. This natural skepticism is crushed early on by fears of hellfire and the intimidation of authority. All children are skeptics, it is up to the adults to crush that skepticism as soon as possible if they want to indoctrinate them. It cannot be argued that skepticism is a very good thing for a child to have, it helps them keep the bullshit out. Skepticism should be embraced, attempts to destroy it should be considered a form of psychological abuse, being that it essentially is. It is sad when the ideas of adults can't stand up to the skepticism of children.
