My little ankle-strap sandals curled with embarrassment for her.
In Christopher Hitchens' book "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything," the author discusses the negative impacts of religion on society and individuals. He examines how religious beliefs can lead to various forms of oppression and conflict. Hitchens argues that dogma often inhibits critical thinking and fosters intolerance.
The quote about the "little ankle-strap sandals" curled with embarrassment serves as a metaphor for the discomfort that can arise from social expectations and judgments. It captures a moment of vulnerability and reflects Hitchens' broader critique of how societal norms, influenced by religious thinking, can lead to feelings of shame and inadequacy.
