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
- Drug abuse 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.

Nobody is brainwashing me. They're trying to, but they haven't been successful so far.
Let's see, who's brainwashing the rest of us? Well, there are parents... teachers... religious leaders... politicians... the media... you name it. Every time you turn on your television, radio, computer, etc. ... everybody is trying to brainwash you. Either they want your money, or they want you to believe in some BS, or something like that. Trust your own instincts, and don't believe a word of it unless you think there is any rational logic behind what you're hearing.
Of course, if you've already been brainwashed, it's really too late for you anyway. It's near impossible to un-indoctrinate the indoctrinated.

That's a difficult one.
According to socialogists, the brainwashers are themselves brainwashed and being brainwashed. The media, which attempts to instill certain attitudes and values into viewers are already brainwashed by the bullshi t there attempting to sell us.
And so it goes on and on and on

If you're not brainwashed, then you have a dirty mind.
