Stupid

I saw this article on facebook and decided to read it since it seemed to cause quite a stir. Read it here. Elizabeth Smart said that she didn't escape her kidnappers because of what she was taught in the church about sex. I understand that rape is a traumatic experience and it is normal to feel worthless but that's not the church's fault! Then to go and say that certain verses in the Book of Mormon need to be removed?? Are you serious? Some people are so stupid. It's not the church's fault. What's so wrong about teaching young women about chastity and virtue? Nothing that happened to her is considered a sin in the church. It wasn't her fault. So it pisses me off that she would speak out against the teachings of the church and blame it on them. Any opinions are welcome. Just had to vent about it.
