A lot of times people who grow up with a given religious culture don’t realize how fucked up it actually is.

Like, let’s be real - the belief that a 12 year old girl gets knocked up by her unborn child’s alter ego as God in order for that child to get tortured and killed in order to appease his own blood lust in place of your ass is whack as shit.

Even at the time there’s a record of Romans being weirded out by the tradition of the Eucharist and the notion of eating the body and drinking the blood of an incarnated god.

Being raised or indoctrinated into a thing goes a long way towards normalization.
