The state that those peoples minds are in deeply saddens me.

This is wrong. There are no words to justify just how wrong this really is.

I can go on to say, as many of you have, that the parents should be put in jail or even worse. However, in a world where religion is so painfully pumping through our veins, spewing out toxic ideas and beliefs as a virus does to our bodies, there is really nothing we can do right now. Which makes this one hundred times worse.

I will continue to do my part by showing people of faith that there is an alternative.

One of my favourite sayings is from a recording I heard from a Tool concert where Maynard says, "Think for yourself, question authority."

Enough said.

The people shown in that documentary strike a painful reality of what religion is capable of. I've always kept my wits about me by reading everything I can get my eyes on. This time however, I should have just looked away.
The honest truth that sits at the very front of my moral self is that I seriously feel a sense of pain for them. Most of all, I feel for the children. Slavery comes to mind for some reason.
