I grew up in this type of church. Southern Baptist. Ugh! I was taught that questioning God (the church by default) was the devil's temptation. That never stopped the questions, though! Now here I am, around 8 years after giving up on religion. Lol

I was also raised to be submissive to my husband. Thankfully, I saw through all of it and married a wonderfully understanding and supportive man.

To them it is all about quantity. So many "crank mail" comments in the Freedom From Religion Foundation newsletter highlight this. The problem is we live under a Constitution that provided equal rights for all not just the most. At the end of the day which 'majority' gets to rule, Catholics, Protestants (of which there are hundreds' of sects) or some other single group. I say bigger is not better, better is better.

I just read a report in "The Atlantic" that stated more and more jellyfish are taking over the waterways; maybe they will get to rule.

They are almost like cattle being herded in the direction. They try to have ideas of their own and roam off on their own. Impossible, if not difficult, because there is always someone coming at them with a rope and lassoing them back in line with the massive herd.

Too bad those, "absolute truths", are not true.
