Religion = Brainwashing

Most parents who have wayward children always hope they will return to what was taught when young. Especially when they marry and have their own family.

churches at least let you go or not go to their church, but the federal goverment indoctrinates you and your children from the time of birth.

social security number required, vaccinations, wic, social services stopping by and a whole slew of other unneeded and unwanted services.

indoctrination by the federal goverment is always bad and should never be needed by a freedom and liberty loving country.

I like what you said! Here's your mind control and your active brainwashing.

People hey you better wake up and smell the coffee here, because soon what you believe in your heart or what you wish your children to believe in theirs is going to be the least of your worries.

If the people elected/appointed government continue their mission to increase volunteer ism in the united states, there goes the good jobs. The most popular way one will be able to keep up their educated skills for greater employment will be to work for free with the promise of a greater opportunity to work for the U. S. government.

I imagine they will begin by making this sound so good by saying we're working for a greater tomorrow or whatever. The point being more brainwashing coming your way and it has absolutely nothing to do with what you believe in your heart.

Could that be the division of church and state? I say that because the church does actively work through the local community to lend aid to those in need. They give shelter, refuge to any one of the asking and they help the sick and just countless other things.

I need to make a correction on one of my earlier posts.

It isn't Christianity that has tried to mind control me into being happy about being poor. It is the lack of jobs above a living wage that suggests to me I may as well accept things the way they are, because they're not going to get any better any time soon.

God didn't do this. People did.

When the day comes that someone points a gun to your head and asks, do you believe in Christ? It will be the atheist that will be left on earth.

Sure it is. But it's a parent's job to "brainwash" their kid, and bring them up with THEIR values, THEIR morals, THEIR ethics. If we were to "brainwash" them into consumerism, democracy, capitalism, conspicuous consumption, and nationalism...would you have a problem with that?

The absence of light is not a type of light. The absence of matter is not a type of matter. Lack of sentience is not a type of sentience.

I would define atheism as a type of faith. The atheist believes what he or she cannot prove and that requires a faith of sorts. I, on the other hand, as a born-again Christian am able to prove with certainty that my beliefs are based on verifiable fact.
