Xian males, like their muslim brethren and jewish father, shudder at a technological world in which mental agility has replaced physical strength as a core measure of economic utility. This reordering of values strips away a core faith-based lie: god-ordained male supremacy.

Unresolved to this day is a decades long struggle over gender equality — equal productive and reproductive rights. Who does The House and Senate back? The relevant group, women themselves, tens of millions of them?

Or white male second-hand-god salesmen? Spewing pro-natalist social Darwinism tarted up as "family values". Fundies are obvious offenders, but RCs run a close second.

Women's aspirations, self realization, reproductive self-determination must be crushed by direct force. Xian domestic terrorism, like muslim domestic terrorism, humiliates, intimidates, and batters women back to submission.

Protected by complicit federal and state officials, cells of xian thugs have been targeting women and their humane values for decades. Irrationality drives scientific knowledge about sex from America's schools just as it drives medical research abroad.

Xian political ideologues must eventually embrace state totalitarianism. Their "truths" can never win popular support. An open society will repudiate a nihilism composed of literalist lies, morally repugnant beliefs, and puritanical rules.

"As far as us brainwashing our children…….we could say the same about you all."

You could say the same thing, but you would be wrong. There is a significant but perhaps subtle difference between teaching and indoctrination. It should not be that hard to figure out.
