Menstruation, Turtles and Pigeons

I'm with you there, but what I find particularly fascinating is the studies that have been done on how that mythic crap affects the minds of children who are forced to engage with it. They have a harder time distinguishing between fantasy and reality, in that they'll more often peg a fictional story as true, merely by dint of having been indoctrinated to believe that magic is totally a real thing. The boundaries of their perception of the world are wider than those of children raised normally- who have no trouble at all distinguishing what's real from what's not in the same studies- and so they're more willing to accept obviously untrue things as true, because they simply don't understand that magic isn't a thing.

I suppose that their boundaries are pretty much non-existent rather than wider?

Even a relatively minor acknowledgement of God's word, like having women on the rag sit in the back of the church, doesn't seem to be very prominent in even strict fundie or evangelical churches.

Agreed, I feel a petition to Cameron coming on. He states his belief in god happily enough, lets fight to get some disposable seat covers in parliament where the women MP's sit.
