I should have started out slow and asked if you even know what faith is?

Faith has nothing to do with beliefs. It is what drives you no matter what you believe.

It doesn't appear they do.

You have faith in everything you believe. Perhaps you believe in evolution. Or maybe you believe in the big bang. So do you have faith in those things or have you been brain washed? You can't simply ask that question. It's not an either/or thing. Yes, you can have faith in something false (santa) , yes you can be brainwashed, yes you can have faith in something that is true. Christians fall on the third option.

When you allow yourself to be brainwashed, you're simply believing what people tell you without lookng for hardcore evidence. For example, just because you're born into a religion, doesn't make it the right one. But, people are brainwashed when they follow traditions just because it's passed down to them. Such as Thangsgiving and Christmas and Easter....which are coming up. And they do these things mechanically, without even thinking twice. Yes, the majority of the world is brainwashed. And they call those who actually do research (like me), brainwashed! Isn't that funny?

Faith: Belief in the truth, value or trustworthiness of someone or something. 2. Loyalty or allegiance. 3. a. Belief and trust in God. b. Religious conviction. c. A system of religious beliefs.
Brainwash: To indoctrinate so as to replace a person's convictions with an opposing set of beliefs.
Now, who has been brainwashed?

I believe a true Christian does. A person looking to not believe in faith or in the lord may see it as brainwashing. Maybe from the outside looking in it seems that all Christians are brainwashed.

Not all but some...
The truth is we all are being brainwashed to some extent. brainwashing is simply the conditioning of the mind to think or act certain ways. Not all "brainwashing" is bad or destructive. Brainwashing to the extent of self righteousness and destructive behavior towards fellow humans as exhibited by the Roman Catholic Church (and others) in the last 1500 years is a prime example of destructive brainwashing (may God have mercy on their soul)...
Faith can be known as simply trust in the unknown. However, faith is not just an idea but an energy. Faith can change the material side of the universe.

Faith is a principle of action and belief. Often brainwashing is the opposite... it instills fear and cripples people so they can't or won't act.

Yes I know the difference, is that all you wanted to know?

Yes.
Christians know about the brainwashing of the population by all sorts of programming and the devices that are bringing about the new world order.
Faith keeps us from being brainwashed along with the general population.

Yes, I DO know the difference.
You obviously think Christians are brainwashed, but that is because you don't know fact from opinion.
A fact can be proven. An opinion cannot.
It is YOUR opinion that we are brainwashed.
It is my opinion that you are incorrect.
It is also my opinion that you're prejudiced against Christians; otherwise you would not insult us and post "questions" that seek to mock/ridicule us.
