When (potentially) great minds go wrong

RE: When (potentially) great minds go wrong
Quote:Now she's suddenly a reborn Christian, and I can't help but wonder: Where the hell did it go wrong? She had access to the best education ever, she had brilliant teachers, was taught to think critically and yet there's hallelujahs and amens all over.

How old is she ? Late teens early 20's ?

A good friend's brilliant 19 year old daughter,(second year,law/arts,a dual degree here) recently came down with a nasty case of happy clappy evangelical Christianity.

From what I can tell it seems to be about community and acceptance by peers. Sadly, it also seems to require turning off part of one's brain,the part which deals with critical thinking. With any luck she will grow out of it.
