You not only know it does so but you understand why with facts. Any one who does not agree with this piece is clearly posessed. "My friend, no one is forced to join any religion especially if it is against that person’s will.' Use common sense. Religuous people raise their kids which forces them to be brain washed in lies while growing up. The mind has the full capability to decide what it wants but not if it was grown to do so. Faith is making a blind devotion out of not thinking. Watch Religulous by Bill Maher. Incredible article. You not only know it does so but you understand why with facts.

I'm pondering religions vs. spirituality at this point in my life, so this was helpful for me, thanks for writing this. This is a great article, so intelligent with wonderful insights.

I was born into it and later saw through it. For a time I even partook in it myself (I taught Sunday School).<br /> <br /> I have not seen one parent NOT try to influence their childs religious decision.<br /> <br /> Jesus Camp is an awesome movie!

I have not seen one parent NOT try to influence their childs religious decision.

Jesus Camp is an awesome movie!

My friend, no one is forced to join any religion especially if it is against that person's will. <br /> <br /> Brainwashing? Oh no, truly a NO. In my religion, brainwashing is not applied. maybe to some religions yes.. but writing the people are born into sin is plain wrong. <br /> <br /> I can only give you an advice, listen well..<br /> Seek the TRUTH that will calm you and give you a peace of mind.

As usual, I agree with you, especially after watching Jesus Camp (painful viewing or what?). I've thought for a long time that spirtuality and personal experience is a lot more important than old books and priests. Organised religion is a dangerous and frightening thing.

Religions and churches have too much influence in our society. They have too much power in politics and they take in too much money and pay no taxes. I don't blame the people who have been led to believe the religious mumbo jumbo.It's brain washing pure and simple. I have no use for religion but I do believe our universe and everything was created by some sort of intelligence and there is a reason and plan that will be discovered someday far in the future when we have the intelligence to understand. I believe we are no more than an insect struggleing to understand the universe. But struggle we must and not be led by pretenders. B,I agree with you entirely.

Loving God should be a joy and something you want to do , not something you are forced to do. I have seen this in many churches and with my husband retired Navy we have gone to many churches.

Hence, I'm pretty sure that there is Something that holds it all together--the Cosmos has so many interactive patterns, it seems beyond coincidence. However, I don't put faith in any mortal being, living or dead, to be able to decide right or wrong for me. Having said that, I am the product of my mother's and grandmother's firm and systematic "brainwashing". Things like, "Don't hit your younger cousins; if you can't clean the whole house, sweep the floor and wash the dishes; animals and small children first; don't kill anything unless you plan to eat it; don't eat your own species; don't put more on your plate than you plan to eat. The list could go on quite a while--raising kids is necessarily brainwashing. Small humans are not born civilized. Religions tend to be parental in approach. I figure I got parented plenty--now I have to raise myself. I’ve always been in favor of informed faith.
