Group Enchantment/mass brainwashing of Christian Fundamentalists? What have others heard?

Question

A growing body of anecdotal evidence seems to support the possibility that millions of American Christians are currently the victims of some sort of nefarious mind-control project being orchestrated by the fascist economic elite, with the full support of members of the US Government and both major political parties.

Documents released through the freedom of information act long ago established that the Federal government vigorously researched and experimented with brainwashing and mind control during the cold war. Leading occult experts have also uncovered disturbing circumstantial evidence that many right-wing political elites practice dark path socery. Could these two forces have somehow combined to create this current generation of American fundamentalist christians who walk through life in a dream state of logical inconsistancy, single-mindedly determined to help impose Theocracy upon the United States and the world?

Answer 1

It doesn't appear to me that the others have really answered your question, as it is expressed. It's my belief that something like what you've suggested has been taking place. Namely, the so-called Christian right has been infected with the notion that our country's leaders ascribe to the Christian faith, and that therefore the rest of the mythology of our current political climate (of somehow being under malicious attack and therefore justified in horrendous pre-emptive oppression) is somehow consistent with or emanating from that faith and belief system. Indeed, there's no biblical basis for imposing theocracy on the world, and of course, that's not at all what is happening, in any case.

Answer 2

I worry more about the control the Church has over it's parishoners. I grew up in the Church, and was taught that the Christian way was the only right way. I'll even go so far as to say that might be true, (though I don't believe so). But my real problem is that I was taught not to study anything else, not to listen to anyone else, not to think anything else, or I would be sinning! I was taught, from the time I was a child, that if I did not do what the leaders of the church thought was right, I would go to hell. The only reason I can see for doing this is out of fear people will study other faiths or ideas and leave the one they are in. Church leaders, out of that fear, created an environment in which they were controlling the thoughts of the people with threats of hell. That worries me much, much more than any government-funded crap. The government is too big and has too many holes for something like that to last very long.
By the way, I was in the Presbyterian church, even though it sounds as though I was part of some tiny cult in the backwoods of WV.

New documents released last week confirm that the anti-god movement has been, over the past 100 years, brainwashing and filling peoples heads with the notions that the God of Abraham does NOT exist. High authority offices of both the civil and social aspects of the UN have admitted to such use.

Being that so many have been turning from the belief that there IS a Holy and Divine Creator, many have come to the conclusion that artificial intelligence does exist on earth.

It has also come to the attention of the higher offices of such matters, that those who do NOT believe in a Holy Creator will read and believe anything they come across that seems to support their way of thinking...........

Answer 4

The brainwashing and mind control which the government experimented with in the the 60's has nothing to do with the Christian Fundamentalists of today. They have invented their own form of mind control involving a multi-ring circus and and a trained ring-master who causes them to throw vast amounts of money at a lie every Sunday.

Many of these tell the vast congregation that they will be taken up in a cloud and have no worries if only they believe and give more money to the the Church of the Holy Hypocrite, but they live and practice deception. I do not speak of all Fundamentalists, but many or most of them.

Answer 5

Certainly there are prominent Christian leaders -- notably D. James Kennedy -- who are working hard to bring about a theocracy. However, I firmly believe that there is a silent majority of American Christians who have the good taste not to buy into political lies and posturing that allign themselves to the majority religion. This group of Christians tends to go unnoticed because they are better at minding their own business and not constantly imposing their world view on others. Religion is what you make of it. Some Christians still have good taste.

Answer 6

I think that gives the gov't too much credit; they aren't usually so competent.

Also, there have been fundie outbreaks in the past. Some peter out, some get derailed into nativist/racist avenues, but they generally fade as people come to their senses. The real danger is that the zealots have nukes this time out.

Answer 7

I would think to find evidence of brain washing and delousinal activity, you might want to look in the mirror

Answer 8

This sort of sarcasm exposes your complete and absolute resistance to truth, in my humble opinion.
