Her side of the story starts with skipping a church meeting to go with a
girlfriend to a local coffeehouse. The sixth of eight children, Kathleen
was raised in a Christian home with strict rules against associating with
anyone outside her family's church congregation. So perhaps Kathleen was
naive when she agreed to go to a movie with a young man she met at the
coffeehouse.

Maybe if the parents had taught the girl about life, instead of trying to
shelter her from the rest of the world, she would have better dealt with the
situation, and not been raped. I place my blame on the girl's parents and
their exclusionary religion.

The belief in the Christian god... is an appalling nightmare. I reject
the notion that the whole universe was created by this kind of evil
creature who would create such a thing. - Anthony Flew, March 22, 2005
