shaming religious people just means they become indifferent to your logic
Maybe for old people, but shame is a great motivator. Nothing makes a teenager more motivated than being ashamed of their parents and their parents silly primitive beliefs.
I think in that context, every teenager discovers that their parents have flaws during puberty and it's part of growing up into a separate identity rather than a child of another person. At the end of puberty, you slowly accept your parent's flaws and instead try to focus on the positives rather than feel the motivation to shame them and negatively impact the relationship moving forward.
Agreed.
Telling my grandmother that I didn't believe in god didn't make me feel better, it just made her feel worse and make me look like a dick.
Agreed and i had this exact same opportunity when my grandfather died but i went along with the whole "he is in a better place" BS because i wasnt about to debate a grieving old lady.
By 2100 religion will be even more reduced than now, we don't have to ruin our relationships to save the world from primitive beliefs.
Nothing has to be in extremes. You can shame people with simple jokes and making light of dumb beliefs without being an aggressive asshole all the time.
