Mental abuse? Religion? It's AWWRIGHT!

Appeasers often say that religion is AWWRIGHT because it supposedly gives theistards hope and helps them live a happier life (lolwut). However, I wonder if they would still think that religion is AWWRIGHT after reading this blog post by a fucktarded theistard moron who thinks that heaping mental abuse on her four-year-old daughter is AWWRIGHT because it is done in the name of religion.

Sometimes during the day or before bed, she always asks me if she has been good, and I always try to be as honest as I can with her, and I will tell her what she has done wrong if I can remember. If she has been better than usual I will praise her and tell her. I have never said to her she has been a perfect little girl who has done nothing wrong all day, If I say that to her then I am a liar and I will be doing her more harm than good. I do not believe in teaching children self esteem or that they should feel good about themselves, because they should not.

Teaching children self-esteem is a bad thing now? Feeling good about yourself is a bad thing? Talk about Theistard Bizzario World indeed.

Remember, this is a four-year-old kid that we're talking about here. If her mother thinks that she shouldn't be feeling good about herself at such an age, I shudder to imagine how fucked-up that kid would be in the future.

My daughter is a normal 4 year old who loves to play with her dolls and dress up, but everyday she finds that she is doing things that are wrong like doing something to upset her baby brother or not doing what she is told by her mum. So we have a problem, and this is an everyday battle. The problem is sin. I never taught my daughter to sin. This is because she, and as well as the rest of the human race have inherited a sinful nature from Adam. From the moment we are conceived we are sinners, Pslam 57:5. We are born with a desire to sin. We are all born God hating and evil.

Teaching your kids that they are evil and that they should hate themselves because an old book of lies says so: It's AWWRIGHT because it is religion, amirite?

"But mummy, everyday I try and I want to be a good girl, but I can't do it. I can't be a good girl". I didn't know what to say to her at this point so I asked her why she could not do it. " Because there is only one person who can ever help me to be good", she said.So not knowing where this was going and a little confused by what my daughter was saying, I asked her who it is who would help her to be a good girl, thinking maybe she was going to say me, she said- Jesus. Yes my four year old daughter told me that the only person who would ever help her to be a good girl was Jesus Christ, because she could not do it on her own. I have never told her this.

[sarcasm] Yeah, her fucktarded mother never told her that. Living in such an environment would ensure that she couldn't have possibly have heard of Jesus. Of course. [/sarcasm]

The worst is yet to come:

She is a wretched little girl, who knows she is a wretched sinner who needs only a good saviour to help her. Glory belongs to God!

Know why someone can say something like that and not be hauled off for child (mental) abuse?

It is because it is religion, and society has been conditioned to believe that it is AWWRIGHT and that we should not interfere. We are told to respect religion unconditionally although innocent people are hurt simply because religion is involved. There is no reason for giving religion a free pass - but somehow we have swallowed the idea that respect entails shutting up and avoiding confrontations with religious people; because we apparently know that when it comes to religion, it's AWWRIGHT, ethics be damned.
