Can you imagine the everyday household of this lunatic? I truly feel sorry for any children involved to be exposed to the nightmares of the head fanatic and inquisitor. Children exposed to such environments filled with hatred for others start out life with a huge disadvantage. .....And therein lies the danger.... As the idiocy is perpetuated, and worsen as the stupidity begins to grow in the minds of now, trained from birth individuals, who not only are they handicapped because of the fact that they were never taught and nurtured to THINK and USE REASON ON THEIR OWN, as their main source and ability to advance, learn, solve problems, communicate with others, etc. We now have a brand new mind, already corrupted by the same old idiocy that all solution to life's situation and standard of moral and ethics is firmly fixed to an old book and ideology created in a time that has absolutely no relevance with today's world.... Forget the lessons that history has taught us, forget the wrongs that over time we humans have committed upon each other, forget the knowledge that science has given us, and worst of all, forget that we humans have an independent mind capable to be creative, to be productive, to reason with one an other. Soon we will never be able to say..... "You know, I think your idea is better than mine...." Why...? Because like mindless bureaucrats, or employees without motivation or creativity, on the face of new situations al they can do is simply refer to a rancid manual that tells him/her how to act, how to live, how to do anything, without concern that such manual may be completely outdated, or without relevance to new situations. In other words, we now have automated zombitrons, with the mind of an idiot..... better yet, a world of the living dead !! Anybody that does not conform will be simply disposed of, a crazy idea to accept today, but give them a generation of unchecked freedom to their lunacies, and such idea will not look as crazy as it does today. What possible importance would someone's individual rights have, in the face of "sacred" scripture.... (never mind whose interpretation of same is used to establish standards). After all..... they did burn women (mostly), to the stake, because they thought they were witches....
