damn...really makes you think
I think there's a way in which this makes more sense than you may think.

He's right you know
stupid. How old is the child and how conditioned is he? You can make a kid believe anything
>>1376248
And you can also shock a child with anything, defending on the way that you describe it.
Tried to explain homossexuality to my 5 years old brother, because he was being homophobic, and he considered it the weirdest shit.

So a system of religion that literally believes in Santa Klaus is reasonable, but a system of belief that construction workers get to use construction equipment is patently absurd?

Isn't this just an Ad Hominen?
>>1376197
And why is that?
>>1376253
He's right you faggot enabler

Because according to meme philosophers, children are the epitome of wisdom.
Why? Because they're cute or something I guess.

It was kind of hilarious. On our house we never said anything bad about homossexual people, but he got repulsed.
2/3rds of the things of the planet will outright traumatise a kid, so....how is this an argument?
>>1376253
This is the cringiest shit I've read. Kill yourself /lgbt/
>>1376197
Real life would shock the mind of children. Is reality not real now?
>>1376197
Kids are stupid and I can't understand people who tries to make them pure creatures with some kind of innocent wisdom. Why do they need to be educated by adults then? Why aren't they allowed to vote?
>>1376271
It's a reality and a good advice, no need to lose your time. It's only ad hominem if you use it in a conversation to show the other how wrong and stupid they are (no matter if they are or not stupid).

It doesn't say any knowledge that shocks the mind of a child, it says any system of religion. Religious people will often say that their religion or interpretation of God is obviously or intuitively true, and that anyone who disagrees is obviously just in denial. If it really is a simple, universal, and intuitively obvious truth, then any child should be able to understand it easily without cultural coaching.

Laughing at this spookster right now.

Perhaps non-revealed religions, yes. Though most of those even claim that one does not gain full insight without great effort and mental or spiritual training. But who with a revealed religion (e.g. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, , etc.) believes their religion to be intuitively and obviously true? At best they claim that the existence of god and certain moral/ethical/cosmological principles are intuitively true.
In fact, I struggle to think of any religion other than the most basic deism, pantheism, or animism that would claim their views to be obviously or intuitively true, even to the mind of a child.

Life contains struggle and misery. It also contains happiness and goodness.
The bible represents that.

You've never heard the claim from those groups that detractors already agree with them but are just in denial? There are multiple Bible verses specifically about that, and the Quran goes into detail about how everyone knows in their heart about Allah and are just rebelling.
The necessary impication is that their religions are obviously and intuitively true.
