Religious Abuse - Jill Mytton interview with Richard Dawkins

, ,

A slight detour from the norm, I must say. But to those in the know, I hold a heavy interest and education in Psychology and also the effect of Religion, and thus wanted to share this particularly insightful interview.

For those even more in the know (in which case how did you find my blog?! smile ) I was brought up in a similarly evil cult as Jill, fortunately rescued at age 9.

52 minutes long, but well worth the watch:

Psychology is one of my main interests too, and I'm against the religious nutcases that pervade our world, controlling others. But, I should have watched the clip first, to have made a more appropriate comment.

Matt, thank you for sharing that information about your upbringing - I feel privileged to know. I watched the uncut interview too, and it was really thought provoking, I admire Richard Dawkins overall for what he's been doing, and she seems a remarkable woman, sadly still somewhat affected by her upbringing.

I hope that you're now more free in your life, I guess you must certainly be, as you're not within the confines of whatever religion it was. Hoping that nothing negative pervades from it too.

Feeling very fortunate to have met your path.

Rob,

Thank you very much indeed for your comments and kind words - it is nice to have met someone on the same wavelength and understanding!

I'll maybe do a post about my experiences soon, suffice to say it would be hard (almost feel risky) to post as generally I leave the past to the past, but maybe it would help others.

I will surely now post more psychology related things, so thanks for your encouragement and comments again bigsmile

Matt

No problems Matt and thanks.

Did you get my message about your website and typo?
