Greta Christina’s Blog: Atheists and Anger
I’m angry that so many parents and religious leaders terrorize children — who (a) have brains that are hard-wired to trust adults and believe what they’re told, and (b) are very literal-minded — with vivid, traumatizing stories of eternal burning and torture to ensure that they’ll be too frightened to even question religion.
I don’t know quite where to start with this article. Obviously Greta is correct on almost everything but I doubt it will help anything.
It makes me angry reading this. Strangely I am normally angry reading things that I disagree with but definitely not in this case.
