dogmadekate,

“The whole idea that comps believe the husband to be like God to their wives…I just really don’t even know what to say about that except, maybe, wow. I’m really not trying to sound snarky, but that’s just, whoa.”

No need for any concern whatsoever on being snarky, in my view. It is a repulsive idea (& ridiculous), and the negative reaction you have is nothing but logical and appropriate.

I feel in American christian culture, generally speaking, there is this pervasive belief that harmony and the feeling of that “sweet sweet spirit in this place” must be preserved at all times & at all costs.

Even at the cost of our natural reactions to something that is clearly wrong, harmful, unjust, etc.

The result is surrendering one’s conscience to the institution.

So frigntening.
