"One TV news report a few weeks ago said this itinerant preacher sent religious tracts to his followers and one of his dominant issues was that women were eternal 'sinners, daughters of Eve, sisters to Satan'."

Ah...I thought it would be something like that. Thanks. Not to change the topic, but the rantings of people like that remind me chillingly of certain Muslim extremists...

I think there is a difference here. If you believe in Jesus you know we all are etrenal sinners, and faith in Jesus the savior alone can save you.

Why did Russell choose this odd religious sect? Was it to help him control Andrea and keep her in her place? He is a man with obvious psychological problems of his own - who stated that he does not believe in mental illness.

And certain Muslim extremists love those kind of weak minded people. Baseball guy, I don't think you were changing the subject but drawing a parallel - maybe something to do with brain washing, yes?

I wasn't speaking in a strict religious sense. I was referring to individuals who use religion as a phychological tool to personal power, wealth, fame, dominance over others etc. No, there s no difference in the sick minds of the people who use religion for this. The only difference are between the religions they choose to use.
