It is this way by design. Spanking, hitting with switches, punishment, isolation, are all tools used to impose strict obedience in the families - their spirits and wills are intentionally broken during younger childhood so they can be complacent obedient young adults that becomes caretakers for their younger siblings. And so they can be indoctrinated into sincerely believing every bit of insane faux-Christian dogma injected into every thought they have.


And then they go out and run for office in their community - and are elected and popularized. And then they can impose their "tenets" on their constituents in the form of legislation. And then they spread even further to influence others, who enter Congress and Senate, etc. etc. It is incredibly dangerous, and nefarious.

Similar to the military. They break you down to rebuild you a specific way.
