Indeed, we need to go with what the evidence says works.
These “Voucher Programs” for Christian Schools is a huge problem. I have a cousin who flunked out of public school and is now in a Christian Private School. His overly religious father and Church have completely ruined the boy’s perception of reality.
A big reason why he flunked public school is he’d refuse any assignment that acknowledged the big bang, existence of dinosaurs, existence of evolution, or the idea that the Earth is older than 6000 years.
So Science was a big no.
I’m geniunely worried the kid is going to end up trying to pray his way through life and fail to understand why it’s not working.
And for fuck’s sake, I’m with you on “Absitnence-Only” being a failure. Hell I remember my Sex-Ed, it wasn’t Absistence only, they told us about condoms and stuff… It’s just they kept using so many awkward euphemisms and beating around the bush, that when it was done I thought sex was when a guy peed in a girl’s butt.
Thank God porn exists, so I was able to figure out the real story.

I find it deeply disturbing that the states with the highest level of teen pregnancies and STDs happens in the same states that do abstinence-only education. Additionally, education and free and easy access to condoms is the single best way to reduce abortions.

Like… you could have a lot of fun with that. Chickens are dinosaurs (avians are technically extant theropoda dinosaurs.)
The problem with faith and believers in general. Be they believers in psychics, ghosts, aliens, Jesus, Xenu, etc.
Is that they have already decided what they want to be true and no evidence can convince them otherwise. Anyone who deals in the evidence must be either close-minded or naive at best or outright lying at worst.
Which is why scientists are either “Stuck believing the religion of Darwin and Scientism” or “On the payroll of big academia, silencing the truth about PSI and Nephilim!”
It doesn’t matter that the evidence says comprehensive sex education prevents abortions and STDs. The “truth” is that safe sex is evil and cannot be taught without encouraging children to have it, because the truth was invented by “liberal pedophiles” who want to turn your children trans.
This is why skeptics beat the believers everytime. Skeptics follow the evidence and believers do not.
It’s why MAGA will never turn on Trump, what Trump says is the “truth”, evidence was created by the Deep State.
It doesn’t matter that Trump is in the epstein files because Trump says he isn’t.
It doesn’t matter that Evolution is one of the most successful theories in biology, the pastor says it’s a “theory in crisis”
A common lie from believers is the idea that the institutions are “slowly turning to” whatever their idea is.
As a former New Age I used to hear that Academia was slowly giving up on Materialism… that a few stubborn higher ups were just too attached to their pet hypotheses. I didn’t realize it was a scam till I realized creationists were told that “Real Scientists” find Evolution a little sus.
