Some FAQ's from the Stop the Nightmares project:

Does preaching really cause psychological damage?

Talk to people who have experienced it. Reports of nightmares and chronic
fear are common, and the effects often last much later in life. Guilt, low self esteem and depression have all been linked to religious threats during childhood.

If laws already exist to handle this sort of thing, why are they not being used?

The Government commonly makes exceptions for religious groups.

They are allowed to discriminate, preach religious hatred, distribute books which incite violence and intolerance and generally get away with behavior which would not be toleratedunder any other circumstances.

All we are asking for is fair treatment for everyone,
and the same laws for everyone.


Shouldn't it be up to the parents to decide how their children are treated?

There is a line. Parents do not have the right to abuse their children. Abuse
comes in many forms, and nobody should have the right to inflict psychological
damage on a child purely because their superstitious beliefs lead them to believe
that it is acceptable.

Surely religions are supposed to preach peace and love?

The fact that this impression is so widespread is evidence of an astonishingly
successful advertising campaign by religious organizations. Nobody who has read
the Bible, the Quran or the Torah can honestly say that they just preach love.
These books (which contain the teachings adopted by an overwhelming majority of
religious people in the world) all contain instructions to torture and murder people
of other religions, and describe dreadful punishments which should be meted out for
the most innocuous of crimes. When someone says that they believe in the teachings
of the Bible, they are saying that they believe that nonbelievers should be murdered;
adulterers should be stoned to death; and that genocide is acceptable. All of these arerepeatedly and enthusiastically condoned.
This is a book which contains more violence
and gore than an average 18-rated film, and yet we allow it to be used to teach children morality.

And here is a good website to remind us of why religion deserves our respect:

Dr. Ahmad Al-Mub'i, a Saudi Marriage Officiant:

It Is Allowed to Marry a Girl at the Age of One, If Sex Is postponed...


The Prophet Muhammad is the model we follow. He took 'Aisha to be his wife when she was six, but he had sex with her only when she was nine.

Hi Paul, i did the web-site, thanks. Sickening isn't it!?

While we MUST keep in mind the times of such edicts, teachings, etc. I think we are obligated to encourage current rejection of accepting such fables, mythology, ignorance and vile practices of the past, as appropriate in this age and time in today's, and future societies.

To abide the Judeo claim to any land, any place, as covenented by GOD to them, is to be party to the most imaginative hoax of all time. Giving credence to such nonsense brings to question the sanity, as well the integrity of so-called Christian countries who ratify, endorse and finance this ego driven colonization... Travesty of justice! THINK! THINK! THINK! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ranting Roger :-)
