It's voodoo. It's mental manipulation, mass hypnosis, of the worst kind. At least with waterboarding everybody involved knows it's wrong.
When I was 6 (I am the eldest of 4) my parents sent me to Sunday School. Not because they were religious, but because it was convenient to have me out of their hair on Sunday afternoons, ;-), and I would be with lots of other kids. That was the theory. But after the first Sunday School class I (6 years old) came home bawling my guts out "HE DIED FOR US, HE DIED FOR US" as if the world had ended!
My parents, as you would expect, were shocked and never let me go there again.
But that was half a century ago. One would expect that the world had progressed since then, wouldn't one? But is hasn't.
