They seem unwilling or unable to accept new information. I think it's called congnitive diffidence. I'm sure if I tried to persuade a Muslim that the Koran was wrong, he will never listen. He would think crashing planes into building for 72 virigins is fine, too. Religion destroys the human mind, as bad as any drug.

No Christian is ever "brainwashed" regarding anything to do with their spiritual belief. There are many Christians who are raised by atheist or agnostic families and some are also raised by families of other faiths who convert to Christianity. Some do this even if their families disown them for the rest of their lives. I know people personally who have had their families do this to them. More and more people are accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour all over the world in faithful devotion. A seeking God and a seeking person are always sure to find each other. There is nothing imposing about that.

Larry I dont get what you have against christians, because all your questions always seem to be negatively directed at christianity.
And do not make such ignorant comments like you have done about muslims.
I do not think it is religion that destroys the mind, because the primary purpose of religion is the complete opposite. I believe it is the lack of it, that creates such rebellious minds like yours. But you can go on saying what you want, because at the end of it all its not chrisitans or muslims your insulting but GOD.

Only if they do not know how to interpret, and this runs rampant through out the world, ignorance is bliss.

yea thats it Larry..........we are all uneducated, brainwashed, and not able to be free thinkers like yourself. Thankful that I am we have someone so smart as yourself to point it out.
Funnythought: I think that about people like yourself and CPT who do not have a new thought in their head. So all they can offer is insults and stupid remarks and theories. And when their head gets really empty they come up with preverted remarks for attention. No thanks if thats what it takes to be a free thinker.
Oh wow this won't put me on yours and CPT's hit list will it ??how will I withstand it..................

Jesuits used to say - give me a child until he is 6 and he will be mine forever. It is called imprinting and it is very effective. Only the strong escape.
