Yeah, that will be my last reply to that person. Sometimes I can't help but try to reintroduce some critical thinking back into these peoples' brains. Unfortunately religious indoctrination since birth is a pretty thick brick wall to break through. It's sad
To the since birth part, I was raised in a particularly fundamentalist cult/sect/denomination (hint: two high school classmates died in Waco) and attended their schools from first grade through high school.
I graduated some thirty four years ago.
Looking at classmates today in our fifties, the delineation is interesting. All of us either completely abandoned religion to the point of hostility toward it or became zealous adherents to it. Very little middle ground.
