I've long believed that Christianity and codependency are the same thing, the only difference being that in Christianity, you can't see your abuser with your own eyes. This video draws kind of a disturbing parallel, but it's absolutely right.
@some1udontknow84 so? Afghanistan...if by that you mean the war, then of course they will fear for their lives because there is a clear and present, RATIONAL, danger. The danger is objective, not subjective.
@geganobo The video doesn't mean that religion is like battered woman syndrome in the sense that you won't be happy or are miserable. It means you are blind to reality by believing something irrational, how the belief makes you feel is irrelevant. Like a battered woman believes the abuser is omnipresent and omniscient, the theist believes God is. Both these thoughts are irrational in reality. Both people are blind. Coincidentally, one is happy and one fears for her life.

AWESOME video, all the way up to the Rand quote. The words themselves aren't at issue, but consider the source.

@MrLeFunker if you go to Afghanistan, there are plenty of religious women who fear for their lives.

@geganobo It makes a startling amount of sense, unless you aren't getting the analogy. Think about it some more.
