Are you being brainwashed??

Uh- this question isnt nearly as deep as you make it out to be.  Growing up Muslum when your parents were Muslum is not a huge suprise.  That is like saying that we are "brainwashed" into speaking English, when we are born and raised by English speaking parents.  Its not brainwashing, its just what you are exposed to, and what values you are instilled with as you grow up.  To not be given that cultural, moral, and theological compass (of any value), you would essentally have to be raised by wolves, without spoken language or values at all.

These idiots responding here (like Jack and JesusFreak) are already assuming that you're an immoral and "lesser" person.  They don't even know you.  \n\nThis is a prime example of why religion is a scourge on humanity, and is the greatest threat to our survival that currently exists.\n\nThis makes me absolutely sick.  I'd better take the day off today.  I can't handle much more of this.

Hi dys. We are the most brainwashed on earth, thats why. For instance, when the American government decides to Napalm half a million people in a poor third world country for devious reasons, we are called the good and they are called the evil and we cheer along as we watch them burn on Sky TV. Its a hoot! And our TV cameras are for Security, not spying. Also the police want new high power zoom microphones to listen to people talking on the streets - Security. LOL

Worship is a regimen.  By creating a cycle of repeated routines is an easy way to brainwash a human.  A human feels comfort in doing what they have done before.  Have you ever been to a Catholic mass?  The whole mass is 80% routine.  They know ahead of time what they will read.  The homily is a slight derivative that lasts only 5-10 minutes.  Everything else is the same.  Stand up, sit down, and kneel.  It is brainwashing at its finest.   These poor people are subjected to peer pressure to continue this behavior.  On top of that they are told they must pay tithe.  Yes, they actually say that you must pay 10% of your annual income, on top of the 33% that the government wants.  Then they tell you that you are supposed to be immaterial whilst the religious leaders live in huge houses and drive their luxurious cars?

Now stop J Man, you're not looking at life from a "logical" view. Obviously those crazy Christians (like me) have got you brainwashed! The God we love and adore, why, we need to give all that up, because some dude on Yahoo showed me the error of my ways.

We most certainly ARE.  Watch the BBC documentary on Google video "The Century of Self."  It explores the work of Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud, and clearly demonstrates that we are, out of necessity, brainwashed.  Were we not, we would succumb to our latent "libidinal forces" and be a lot less likely to support the power elite.

No you don't. You should avoid those people. They want to brainwash you.

Collective brainwashing is far more efficient than doing it one person at a time. This is true for all churches not only Catholic.
