Religion runs a distant second to the power of brainwashing of popular culture.
A proper exposure to God and religion can help to counteract the real brainwashing that popular culture is constantly throwing at all of us in books, movies, TV, songs, advertisements, and even video games.
Popular culture is constantly bombarding us with intensive, not-so-forcible indoctrination, aimed at setting up worldly convictions and attitudes.
Popular culture comes at us from all directions including books, movies, TV, songs, advertisements, video games and even the Internet.
A few of the these immoral values include:
- Lust and Sex (outside of marriage)
- A disrespect for God and religion
- A disrespect for lawful authority
- A disrespect for our human dignity
- Envy, greed and consumerism
- Anger and Violence
- Drugs including smoking and alcohol
- Vanity, outside is more important than inside
- Prejudice and hate
I think that if we expose our children to all this immorality without the moral anchor of God and religion "until they can come to a conclusion of their own" then we would be unwise, irresponsible, and frequently too late.
With love in Christ.

No. What's funny is that if you're right, and I'm wrong, then I haven't lost anything. But if I'm right, and you're wrong, then I will live in Heaven, and you'll be somewhere else. I really don't want that to happen to you. I want everyone to make it to Heaven. But the sad fact is that there are a great mulititude of people just like you, with closed minds, who do not allow for the existence of a world beyond what you can experience with your five senses.

when thy're arguing on line it's funny, a bit like johnathan swift's big enders and little enders. when they're bombing, shooting, terrorising and corrupting health programs in the third world it's not so funny. aaron could you point me to any visceral arguments by atheists about scientific theories, because i haven't seen any. atheists would find it difficult to argue about what type of god they don't believe in. as for arguments about scientifc theories most are about interpretations of facts, as soon as more facts become available, the party who have made the wrong interpretation will accept them and move on. the religious do not and cannot do this as their believes are based on pure fancy.

that isn't the small adjustments that rely, that's the massive similarities the we human beings choose to forget approximately; that's what might desire to rely. in spite of everything, no person can trully say which faith is nice, that query i think would be anwered in basic terms once you die, the afterlife

Hmm -about as amusing as when countries bicker over who's culture or values are better, or as hilarious when G.W.Bush attacks any who's values &/or beliefs are not his own.
As much as I'm an atheist, I have to say it is not just the religious who practice such petty squabbling...humans in general are fantastic at finding just about anything to bicker about.

In the Mid-east, those fighting the war on both sides, are just dumb, brainwashed 19-year olds.

not really so funny cuz when merchants get all whipped up like they are trying to now then people die and not just the religious, just not the children of politicians, and tycoons.
