It's why I hate the Jedi

My single biggest issue with religious indoctrination of the very young is the genital mutilation that typically goes along with it. Everything else can be reversed in time.

I’m glad the scales have fallen from her eyes. I think someone in her own family, maybe a brother, was abused by a priest when he was an altar boy. The scandals in Ireland over the abuse by nuns and priests. and how the Catholic Church handled it has rocked Ireland to it‘s core. Of course its child abuse for any child to be labelled from birth as an adherant to any religion. As Richard Dawkins so rightly said ”there is no such thing as a Christian child or a Muslim child, there are only children”.

I agree with the sentiment.

I had some tap water poured over my head when I was an infant, by a man in a frock, surrounded by extended family.

It made no difference. In my mind I'm showing the finger to all religions.
