"the saddest thing about this is that the emotions that these girls are feeling are completely sincere they're overwhelmed and crying, they're just genuinely trying to make sense of an incredibly intense emotional experience but they're children, they're interpreting those emotions through a framework they didn't build and aren't yet capable of critically evaluating if you're taught from your earliest moments that this feeling is god, that these sounds are a supernatural language and that questioning it means you're resisting god, what chance do you have at all to reach your own conclusion? because for some of these kids, if they grow up and begin questioning their beliefs, they may have to entangle years of emotional conditioning every powerful feeling, every memory from moments like this may be tied to the fear that doubting means losing god disappointing their family or risking eternal consequences that kind of conditioning can take years to work through, the emotions they're feeling are completely real the question is whether they've ever been given the freedom to ask if the explanation they're attaching to those emotions is true that's the part that truly breaks my heart"
