i understand the root of the sentiment. it’s exhausting talking to people in a cult to get them out of the cult about the things the cult talks about. this is also why i think in a rising era of state based religious fascism, atheists and agnostics need to study theology. people who are resisting the fascism have to know how to make propaganda that works on the masses in thrall that can be shifted. not doing it is just kind of letting the fascists win, and that’s not an acceptaple outcome. i understand not wanting to do it because you’re not interested, but these times demand empathetic self sacrifice to create a future in which we can just not study things we’re not interested in
I grew up religious so I know exactly what you’re talking about. You can’t convince someone on the right with the same logic as someone on the left.
It’s generally better to give someone the facts and let them come to their own conclusion than to spell it out for them but that’s especially true with the religious right.
But we don’t have to convince them that pedophiles are bad. We don’t have to harp on the likelihood that Trump is one. We just have to agree that Epstein was a sex trafficker, that there’s powerful people protecting his clients, and the government holds the key to prosecuting them.
Want a shortcut? “When is Trump going to hold Bill Clinton and the other pedo democrats accountable?”
