No, I'm talking about Jesus.
What is the likelihood you would be believing that nonsense right now, if you hadn't been indoctrinated during childhood?

Interestingly enough, I've had similar experiences when trying to convince hookers or lifelong drug addicts that they weren't creating good outcomes for themselves.
Indoctrination is powerful. It can be good or bad, but the wonderful thing about being human is the ability to step outside oneself and look critically at everything, including yourself.
Jesus doesn't work. Giving time, energy and money to Jesus when there are real opportunities to help others and the environment is one of the most tragic misdirections of resources in our society.

nicely i might say around 8 or 10. yet there are some exceedingly clever babies available which could hook them up at a early age.(which includes a toddler i knew that became purely 4 and ought to do alot of technologic stuff)

I never even really heard of Jesus until I was twelve. When I was 18-19 I was anti-Christian and anti-God (not atheist) but I only became a Christian after a lot of research and studying the Bible for errors.

Like any belief or habit or addiction, early childhood has a direct influence on the adult.
Whether its healthy eating, or smoking, or religion, or warfare (look at the 11-year olds in the Middle East being taught to kill), or tobacco, or physical abuse, or morals and ethics, or whatever - it all starts in childhood.

The likelihood of me believing the Bible all that kind of crap is not great since I don't.
But I know many people who were raised on it, and they cannot quit.
The whole situation is absurd, and an embarrassment for our country.

We all have a choice in later years whether or not to belive it, it is only nonsense in your opinion, how about you try to prove your point instead of just calling names.

priests, bishops, popes, nuns etc all have said that give them your newborns and they'll return them before elementary school. why? because at that very young age range, kids are in the learning stage where things taught can become reflexes and habits. so even if their parents don't take their older children to church or teach them the bible, those kids will naturally/instinctively go to church in their adulthood, because it's hard coded in their mindset / brain.

I was never indoctrinated.
I grew up in a non religious family. When I chose to go to Church and become a Christian when i was 14 my family fully supported me, though they did not come along with me.

the Jesuits used to say, give me a child before he's 8 and he is mine for life.
I think the tobacco companies borrowed their marketing ideas from Christianity.

... I dont "believe" in jesus. And I was raised in a christian family. He was a man, not a god. At least in my opinion. To each their own.
- Down rate me all you want. Im free to my own opinion.
