I AM STARTING A RELIEF FUND TO PAY BACK THE GENEROUS ANON WHO BOUGHT BOOKS FOR OTHER ANONS.

DONATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH PAYPAL AND GIVEN TO THE ANON IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE HIM FOR HIS GENEROSITY.

The point is that people give way too much of a shit about "indoctrinating" kids. Who gives a shit. They are fucking kids. They are stupid. They need mystical stories to understand real life lessons. I grew up in a religious household and it hasn't harmed me one bit. I'm a ration science-minded person now because THAT'S WHAT GROWING UP IS ABOUT. All that angst and trials of discovery that you /lit/erati should know more than anyone defines the teenage years is about figuring things out on your own. IT'S A VITAL PART OF GROWING THE FUCK UP.

I mean if we are going to ban mystical or surreal books from being shown to children where the fuck does it end? Should we also ban VCRs in households with children because we don't want them to get the wrong idea that VCRs might be better than DVD players. Should we ban cartoons because people don't really look like that? A kid is a kid, and without giving them extraordinary examples of the world at a young age they'll never have imaginations. When they grow up they will decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. That is exactly what growing up is all about.

Hey /lit/

I want to have an existential crisis. What do I have to do to have an existential crisis?
