In speaking of the indoctrination she was exposed to in an American university, she basically said "Not even North Korea was this nuts." If she really wanted to experience oppression in that regard, she should try joining a political forum. Or worse yet, this one.
Then move your ass to North Korea and enjoy all the freedoms you claim that they have there and write us from there how bad we are having it. Oh, wait, you won't because you are full of shit, and North Korea is not just more oppressive, but actually oppressive.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
