But Rugrats doesn’t, it must be a conspiracy! It must be war on Christian values! It must be indoctrination of the poor Christian children. Oh God, won’t somebody please think of the children!
Growing up Jewish in the American southeast, Rugrats was literally all I had. Sometimes Christians can just get fucked.
Don’t have to imagine lol Judaism is my heritage and culture but it’s never been my religion. Not since my family was thrown out of a synagogue for insisting on Palestinian’s rights when I was young.
It is scary, being told you don’t have any morals because you don’t believe in eternal damnation. Sort of makes you grateful that person does believe in hell if it’s the only thing keeping him in line. It’s like the old Ricky Gervais bit: “If you don’t believe there is a God to answer to why don’t you go round raping & murdering as much as you want?” “I do, as much as I want, which is not at all.”

yeah there seems to be a consistent thing in nutbag adults that they love to scare children with their own psychosis-driven fearmongering. as if they’re driven to pass on the infection via shared trauma.

imagine growing up entirely unaffiliated with anyone’s imaginary friends… in places like louisiana and alabama.
‘which church do you go to?’
none
‘no, honey, where do you go on sunday mornings?’
the kitchen, for cereal.
‘oh lord you must worship the devil himself’
lady, if I don’t believe in your imaginary friend why would I believe in his imaginary enemy?
