Richard Dawkins Quotes

Jill Had Described This Kind Of Religious Upbringing As A Form Of Mental Abuse, And I Returned To The Point, As Follows: 'You Use The Words Religious Abuse.

She Replied: 'That's A Very Difficult Question . . .

It's A Form Of Denigration; It's A Form Of Denial Of The True Self In Both Cases.
