Janice #5,

Welcome to our blog community!  CBMW does rely on dogma and fear to maintain a power base.  Dogma that very few will check out for themselves by doing their own critical thinking.

Fear, because it takes guts to go against the flow of centuries of patriarchal abuse.  It’s much easier to just accept what your “betters” tell you the scriptures mean, rather than becoming a Berean and searching them for yourself to see if these things are so.

Wistful nostalgia for the “good old days” that never were, is part of the fabric of conservative Americana.  In her book, “The Way We Never Were-American Families and the Nostalgia Trap”, author Stephanie Coontz dismantles American conservatism’s love affair with a glorious past that never existed.
