of course I agree. I don't think its right for coutries to be run in a relgious style Government. I think religion is a personal choice. I don't think any woman should have to put up with being treated badly or made to wear or not wear anything, or not have her own opinions etc. I don't think anyone has any right to treat any one lesser than themself.

What if there are people who justify such behavior with their faith..? And what about people who choose to ignore it when this happens in their faith because they feel criticized..? In other words, even if you interpret your faith in a tolerant, open minded way, but other people of your denomination don't - do you criticize them or do you defend them just because you belong to the same faith?

Quoting xkirstyx: Like terrorists who say they are just muslims, no...they are just terrorists. |
Actually, whatever we think about terrorism Kirsty, it is not just about the fact they enjoy bombing people!! They seriously believe in their "cause". The "terrorists who say they are muslims" believe very strongly that they are following their religion the same as you do. If we take muslims as an example, each section of that faith believes the other is not a true muslim and Islamic states believe that Turkish people are not true muslims.... and so it goes on.
It is all a matter of the DEGREE of brainwashing. Your mormon "extremists" are following the original teachings of your prophet Joseph Smith who advocated pologamy. They also subscribe to another original teaching of the Church of the Latter Day Saints which says "No woman will get into the celestial kingdom, except her husband receives her, if she is worthy to have a husband; and if not, somebody will receive her as a servant".
So which is right? Your version (the politically correct, watered down version of your original faith) or their original version?

Do you really not believe that religion of these people justifies or at the least contributes to what is happening to these women?

Can I join your gang?  
Why do we keep posting the same things Catwoman? Are we the only people who want to defend these women? I never see anyone else defending or feeling sympathy for them. So we keep on posting, and people keep on objecting to it....
I seems to me that WE are more offensive to people than those who treat women this way

I can't imagine that it justifies this behaviour at all. To me it's about culture. They are hiding behind bits of religion to create a culture where men have power. It's not even power, it's pathetic but I'm sure they feel powerful.

Sure, there may be more then just religion to it, but they OPENLY SAY that religion tells them to do so, why don't you believe it???????

Well... what do you expect, homo sapiens isn't really that much more advanced then australopitecs and neanderthals and.... dialogue is apparently not working very effectively with people who have their minds already made up...
