The great trouble is that the preachers get the children from six to seven years of age and then it is almost impossible to do anything with them.

If I may toot my own shofar, a few of the posts I like best:
"Jehoprah"? : )
You know, I haven't thought so much about one point you raise: "God can read your thoughts". That's such a perfect guard to keep believers from questioning the authority of church/doctrine/etc.!
"Don't ask questions; the leaders might find out" isn't too strong a guard; you could still have quiet conversations with other doubters, or study secretly at a library, etc. But "Don't ask questions; God can hear you" – wow, you don't dare do anything for fear of being divinely busted! Awesome bit of mind control.
Anyway:
"Remember: god is love. "
Yes. He'll just love you to death!
