Holy Hell

Read Holy Hell : A memoir of Faith, Devotion and Pure Madness by Gail Tredwell, an Australian woman who escaped from an Indian godwoman ashram.

She wrote how she was repeatedly raped by the chief priest and physically tortured by the godwoman Amritanandamayi, the hugging saint, during her stay in the ashram as a devotee and a head female disciple for 20 years.

It is not surprising.

Qualified people fail to judge their destination. Religion makes them blind in the mind and does not see the prominent obvious.

All god-men and god-women are fraud and atheists. They know there is no hell to punish for their heinous deed. No heaven to reward their good deeds.

A well written book that shows the mind of a naive theist who just want to believe in some thing how ever absurd and inhuman it is.
