Pathetic on every level that this is common place in the 21st century. Religion and conservatism, they never lead to anything good, it always leads to stupidity and ignorance in everything.
Religion and conservative tradition: the last refuge of mentally challenged who need sexually repressed, desert dwelling schizophrenics to tell them how to live. After the last ice age receded and turned their precious fertile crescent into a desert during the last bronze age, they didn't understand why so they created myths on why it happened and they blame either knowledge or women, women because the first farmers might have been them so naturally they blame them for using knowledge to farm, and when their farms produce no more and they are starving, and their land turns to desert, they scapegoat. And women have been paying the price ever since this myth has taken root. Pathetic on every level, and don't you dare say christianity isn't like this, it was only 200 years ago people were being burned at the stake for stupid shit. It was only through the Enlightenment and Reason that we see the relatively benign religion of today, but one only has to look at some of the politically conservative right's recent manufactured morale outrage to see that they are not to far from receding back into the bronze age.
