Why is it that a woman will commit mass suicide, refuse an abortion,etc. if a male preacher demands it of her?

Question

Does she really think that these men speak for God when they tell her how to live her life?

Answer 1

Because she is an idiot... like anyone else who follows a religion.

Answer 2

Jim Jones comes to mind - you know, the one who had his followers drink poisoned kool-aid - point - they weren't all women.

Your question should be rephrased to why will people agree to commit mass suicide dictated by a self-appointed leader.

As for abortion, most, if not all - religions oppose abortion. So, I suggest you question the 'leaders' - not only the followers - especially when judging only women.

Answer 3

Gone are the days and gone are the preachers who shall put their **** on a firing line.Women do what think they should do,suicide included.

Answer 4

You are absolutely fixated on this, aren't you?

How can a single person commit 'mass suicide' anyway?

edit;
Jimmy Jones had both men AND women in his 'flock'. Many people tried to flee - but were shot.

Don't you know that God speaks to George Bush directly? He said God did...so it must be true.

Answer 5

Whatever a lot of women consider to be something they will obtain social approval for they will do it, even if it is suicide.

Answer 6

are you speaking about Jim Jones? Sad, but females have a tendancy to follow a male because they are predisposed to believe that a male is stronger than a female. Sadly, this type of thinking is Hitler-istic in my opinion. Let people think for themselves. God gave us a brain for a reason. It's ok to have 'leaders', but we must learn to trust our own judgement!
