3. You are right
Go to "christian" rehabilitation and if that doesn't "work", commit SUICIDE.

SICK, SICK people.

5. I sat through Focus on the Family's "Bringing up Boys" The whole thing
is a rant against feminism and homosexuality.

I will never watch another Dr. Dobson show again.

2. This is their problem
An outrage to be sure, but sorry, I am becoming more isolationist every day.

10. fundamentalism is everyone's problem
We can't claim to be any better - we all share this planet and its resources together, and we have a responsibility to humanity to give a damn.

If we had said what you said just now about the concentration camps in 1946 then Europe would look decidedly different today.

9. I hate hearing news like this
I already hate fundamentalism and generally despise religion and stories like this only reinforce it further. There is no room in reality or in life for that kind of medieval irrationality.

It is a tragedy that both the Arabic and Persian cultures achieved as much as they did mathematically, and scientifically (google "The Firist") when they did hundreds of years ago and yet are so incredibly backward today.

What a world, what a world - AND TO THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO THINK ANYONE WOULD CHOOSE TO DO BE THIS.

Those boys did not choose to be tortured and murdered.
