I know that it can be extremely difficult to see beyond the things your parents raised you to believe. Whether that’s religion or just a perspective or bias about people. Phelps-Roger was sp trapped in this way of thinking it felt like there was no escape. I don’t know if she really used one of the strategies e have talked about to change her mind, but I do know that she had goodness in her heart. This goodness was like a whisper in her ear telling her what she was doing could possibly be wrong. She was so curious to see the other side and how other people viewed what she and the church were doing. It’s hard for me to understand how someone can love God the way these people said they did, yet treat others in this way. To me, the Bible preaches nothing but love and forgiveness so to turn its word into a weapon of hate just seems like an atrocity. Megan I think saw this too. Maybe this was her demonstrating intellectual humility and beginning to grow this skill. She doesn’t seem like a bad person but rather someone who was just born into a family that taught her the wrong things. I can’t imagine what leaving must have been like. This was all she knew and she still had to figure out what she truly believed. She does not seem to hate her family for what they did or are doing, but rather wants to help them see the same light she did. This really is an insight into the person she really is. I think forgiveness is a huge message to take from this. As people we have to understand that people can change and forgiveness is a powerful force. Soceity needs to support and help people explore different ideas rather than shunning them and pushing them away.
