6. Or how indoctrinated.

If you were their ages, and had been indoctrinated by your parents in the way and to the extent that they have, you'd most likely turn out the same way. They are questioning the deepest kind of lifelong indoctrination. When you're young, you don't have to be stupid to be misled. You are an adult. You most likely weren't raised in deep red Appalachia. They don't have the life experience, education, or perspective that comes from age that you do. These are exactly the kind of people who need education, not condemnation. Quit being a shithead.

I am just as discouraged by the responses here as I was encouraged by the conversation.
