I should say: menthally chid...
By the way, all the religious ( even I, when was one of them...) are
programmed to behave like children (remember, f. ex., "St"Paul in lots of
his letters : "little children....", or the imitated "son of "god" " ) .
But note the (unconscious) logical incoherencies associated to such "adult
x+ children" dual behaviour leads one to several emotional (and lots of
logical) disadjustments... transposed to all other fields of existence...
and democratic (not necessarily inteligent) exercises ( more exercises than
real solutions...) . Indeed, I even think that, if the religious wouldn't
have assumed such posture of considering themselves like children, the
intelectual "fathers" wouldn't be so "paternalists" with them.... (just the
corrupted and very interested on such status quo...)
Sin,
Gomes
Libertary ???: or 100% or not yet...but always peacefully... (just some
little slaps, sometimes...)
