A core childhood memory is seeing this episode for the first time (as a rerun in the 80s) on our 13" black and white that sat on the fridge so my dad could watch Trek at dinner.

My mom had made pizza that night.

This meme hits me very deep. 🤝

You refuse to address the "arbitrary" and "dire consequences" parts of my arguments by pointing at hypothetical religions. I will not respond to that.

To teach someone that they must follow arbitrary rules with dire consequences for failure is unethical.

You can decide what that means for religions.

All major world religions with many followers have arbitrary rules and dire spirital, and often physical, consequences for breaking them.

I am not here to argue specifics on religions.

I don't think I could be more clear about why I believe teaching anyone religion as fact is unethical.
