US ambassador killed over a film

I haven't said that. I say that religious upbringing brainwashes people. And indeed the fear of hell is a very big factor in that brainwashing.

Is this your concept of parenting?

No this is my concept of bad parenting. Making your child religious before he has grown up is bad parenting to me. (although I understand the cultural implications so I am not saying that such parents need to go to jail or so)

[i]"Systematic effort to destroy an individual's former loyalties and beliefs and to substitute loyalty to a new ideology or power. It has been used by religious cults as well as by radical political groups. The techniques of brainwashing usually involve isolation from former associates and sources of information; an exacting regimen calling for absolute obedience and humility; strong social pressures and rewards for cooperation; physical and psychological punishments for noncooperation, including social ostracism and criticism, deprivation of food, sleep, and social contacts, bondage, and torture; and constant reinforcement. Its effects are sometimes reversed through deprogramming, which combines confrontation and intensive psychotherapy."

You must have had a rough childhood.

No I didn't but I care for other people, I am not just thinking about myself
