Women. Religion’s longestrunning victims.

You believe that while living in today's society-- and with all the access to TV and internet--christian women are not smart enough to realize that they are "oppressed" and make a decision to leave their situation.

The human mind, especially in childhood, is extremely malleable to persistent pressures upon it, irrespective of intelligence. We wouldn't have half the mental illnesses we do if that wasn't the case. I consider myself to be quite smart- with an academic record to back that up- and yet I have an extreme, irrational phobia of deep water and being submerged stemming from a certain set of childhood experiences that don't bear repeating. My rational mind sees no threat in a swimming pool, it knows that I know how to swim, but my rational mind simply is not in the driver's seat there.

It's the same with religion; enough reinforcement and so on, early enough in development especially, can be very hard to break even for geniuses.

Quote:What do you want to do--take them into camps and indoctrinate them with your beliefs?

I really don't think the person whose religion hosts a ton of bible camps and Jesus camps and childhood programs has much room to be chastising anyone else about camps and indoctrination. Angel
