If you don't think MAGA parents wouldn't force this on their children, you need to look up the history of MAGA and MAGA-types

Helicopter parenting is at an all time high. The same parents are loading Life360 onto their kids' phones and expecting them to keep it installed after turning 18.

And no one is stopping them. But they don't have the right not to be ridiculed, and I suspect a lot of people ridiculing them are fellow Christians.

It's not as if anyone is going to chain them by their ankles to the back of a truck and drag them to death for being straight over it.

Christian values have nothing to do with low crime rates, high standards of living, and scientific achievements. Just look at the Philippines. A country way more Christian than any European country or the United States. There is high levels of crime in some areas, very poor standards of living in most of the country, and almost no scientific achievements compared to the west.

The main difference is cultural. In the Philippines we have a culture where people give their resources to past generations rather than saving and investing for the future. Then when parents die you're left with nothing and now your kids have to provide for you or you starve to death. Its a never ending cycle unless you're lucky enough to have parents that refuse you provide for them.

This cultural practice, which is not unique to the Philippines, leads to poverty which leads to low standards of living, crime, and lagging scientific achievement and innovation.
