@irokdastar How do you know that most religious women are happy? Some might be, but most? Most are under their husband's thumb, have one baby after the other and not a minute to themselves. They are forced to wear long-sleeved clothes in winter and in summer and live in cramped accommodation. It is insulting to imply that all secular people are unhappy. Some are and some are not.

@chatisawasteoftime Well, a lot depends on what you do. You do not have to be a drug-taking, partner-swapping liberal-minded person to be part of the outside world. A respectable person, even a secular one, does not take drugs or indulge in immoral behaviour.

@eddenoy321 At least, the Amish have Rumsprunge, in which they allow the youth to go out into the modern world and then decide whether or not to be baptized into the Amish Church, but the Chasidic Community have nothing except their own customs and culture rammed down their throats. Imagine not knowing what science and georgraphy are!

@chatisawasteoftime She broke away from her religious upbringing. Do you know how hard that is, especially if you are raised in a Chasidic community?
