I don't understand how some religion isn't child abuse
February 7, 2014 at 4:19 am
When I was in high school there was a girl from a muslim family who had a full-grown beard because of a hormone imbalance and the family wouldn't let her shave it because they thought it would fuck them up spiritually or something. Can you imagine how psychologically scarring this was for the girl, and the bullying that resulted?

There are also countless examples of extreme psychological manipulation and cruelty from other religions (Christianity from my experience).

I split religion into two main categories: Stupid and Harmful. The stupid entries just frustrate me. The harmful ones enrage me. Why is some of this stuff publicly known and nothing is done about it? Is there not a line between religious freedom and abuse? I guess I'm just venting at this point but it blows my fucking mind.
