56. You don't seem to understand religious cult brainwashing

Thu May 17, 2012, 12:19 PM

May 2012

I understand it can be difficult for a nonreligious person to understand the effect cult religions can have on ones ability to think. I saw the full effect while living in Utah, it was unbelievable to me too, but I saw and experienced it for myself. And, the brainwashed have no idea that they have been, they believe that the rest of the country are the ones who can't see the truth.

Is it bigotry to keep the fox out of the henhouse?
