I have talked to the children in my family over the last 20 years.
My first cousin who is half my age… I told her to question everything! She replied, “that’s right. Question everything but mommy, daddy, and god.” I said, “No. I literally mean everything. Mommy, daddy, god, and everything else.”
I really thought I got somewhere with her. She’s 18 now. I got nowhere. I could be wrong. I’m going to try to spend time with her soon now that she’s an adult.
My younger 1st cousins once removed, I said similar things. Two are preachers (despite their dad getting caught with a man and coming out of the closet, destroyIng a 20+ year marriage), one joined the army despite everything I said, and another is attending America’s last snake handling church.
I don’t think I’ve moved any of them.
I planted seeds though. But when everyone around them is planting weeds, the decent plants can’t compete.
Breaks my goddamn heart.
I have reached kids outside of my family, but way way way way less than I haven’t.
This round almost entirely ask questions. Don’t make statements unless they ask you a question. If you’ve read the Bible then it’s easy to use it to support all the core concepts leftists share.
Too late. Their parents got to them first.
Unfortunately, this.

Still. It’s worth it to try.

Yes. In a single blurred frame.
I drove by the church yesterday on my way to War to reprogram a gas monitor.
That’s wild. I was watching it in awe that such a place existed still like a week ago
Be that as it may, you still hear stories about how “my worldview changed when I went to college and met people of different backgrounds.”
For every 1 of those people there are numerous kids who will listen to discussion and have not lost their empathy. Kids can be smarter than you think.
Never too early to challenge some beliefs.
