they still are.
Half of me thinks that when people do that, they are only putting on a show to prove some kind of point to atheists. Ooh the atheists are coming! Quick act all religious! *acts all religious* Look at us, we're real Christians!
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
