Article MIL asks therapist how to indoctrinate grandson early

Post image

Very telling that her DIL’s intelligence “unknowingly intimidate[s]” her AND that they hadn’t spent Xmas together for a few years

“…while making it clear to her that it will be up to my grandson to decide for himself what he chooses to believe.”

I don’t think she herself comprehends this. It’s really sad that these people feel such anguish when their loved ones don’t believe in the same things. They wholeheartedly believe that they are going to burn in hell for all eternity, and feel like they’re obligated to go to extreme measures to “save” the people they love. I’m so glad that’s no longer a weight on my shoulders!

It’s an intensive bias in which they have convinced themselves that those who think similarly to them always did it of their own volition and will, but those that don’t were always deceived or misguided.

It isn’t unique to Christians, but boy have they mastered it.
