Explain your position to each scenario posted. Do not look if these might offend you (they somewhat involve religion).

1. Which is worse, indoctrinating a belief system that most people will find blasphemous or creating a 'perfect' society through force and genetic torture?
2. A girl is tormented by everyone around her and is labeled the anti-prophet, sometimes even a demon. Unfortunately, the girl was born a demon, but she did not know. After a strange dream, she turns into one gradually. She still held faith in the goodness of mankind and a benevolent deity, but eventually turned psychotic because of her inexplicable suffering humans and other beings still put her through. Is this believable and who was more vile, the tormented girl or the village?
3. A boy was raised in a religious community and he believed in the religion until war-waging religious extremists killed everyone around him. Since then, he has declared that (insert head god) does not exist. Who was more blasphemous, the religious zealots or the boy?
