We've all seen the atrocities of the film Jesus camp and those images of terrified kids being psychologically tormented still haunts me. To turn a childs life away from being a curious, inventive and fun exploration and replace it with a dark, fear based living nightmare that prohibits questioning makes me angry like nothing else.
I genuinly feel sorry for Godschild, Drich et al because they are the end product of this abuse. They will, of course deny this ever happened to them and that they are truly happy but it's plainly obvious reading their posts how much they are victims of a worldwide cult.
I think it`s exactly the same with indoctrinated people in North Korea. They are happy, in their own ignorant way.
If it`s true that our species is alone in the universe then I`d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
