Is the reason you accuse Christians of being brainwashed is because your heart is unwashed ?

Answer 1

Oh we are most certainly brainwashed. And heart washed and spirit washed. It is like a great light has shined into our lives. The darkness can not comprehend the light so it scrambles to explain it away the best they can.

Answer 2

I've never accused a Christian of being brainwashed, because I think that's really rude. But I do think some of them believe too deeply in Fundamentalism for their own good.

When someone convinces people more of his willful ignorance than of his devotion, it's time for him to take a look at his beliefs, I think.

Answer 3

Not all Christians are brainwashed, in fact many of them are fine people in many ways.

Even some non-believers are more brainwashed by the thoughts and ideas of others.

I'm sure theres some grease in my heart that shouldn't be there since I like fried chicken so much.

Answer 4

Atheist Paranoia

Joshua S. Black, when addressing an atheist said, "For people who don't believe in God, you guys sure are paranoid about something!!" How true that is. I have known many atheists, and I have found them to be totally committed to their negative cause. They are zealots, fanatics--who are serious, angry, hateful, and blasphemous towards something they don't believe in. And what's more, they spend their time gathering fuel for the fire of their hatred for God and those that love Him. They gather what they think is legitimate fuel, whether it is atrocities committed by hypocritical religions of history, or the horrors of the Inquisition (the Catholic church torturing Christians for their faith in Jesus). They even gather unintelligent and unscientific material. It qualifies for use because it fits their presuppositions. Any fuel will do, as long at it puts smoke between them and the God they hate "without cause." It was Jonathon Miller who said, "In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners." So, what is this "something" about which they are so paranoid? It is the same "something" that makes criminals paranoid, and it is that paranoia that fuels criminals to have a deep-rooted hatred for the police. It's not the individual officer they hate; it's what he stands for--civil law. And that's the root of the hatred that the atheist has for God and for those that represent Him. Once again, the Bible has said this all along. It hits the nail on its big and hard head: Romans 8:7: ". . . because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot" (Amplified Bible). They hate the morality that God's Law demands. That's the fuel for their hostility.

Answer 5

I shouldn't be answering this question at all because I have no answer, I just thought I should point out that the question doesn't make a whole lot of sense. "Unwashed heart"? What? What?

Answer 6

A play on words doesn't change the fact that the accusation is more or less true.It doesn't take a dirty heart to see a brainwashed mind.

Answer 7

I only accuse brainwashed Christians of being brainwashed.

Are you saying the followers of people like David Koresh and Jim Jones WEREN'T brainwashed?

Answer 8

No it is because they either cannot or will not think for themselves. I have whitnessed many of them repeating the same phrases over and over again instead of giving a genuine, heartfelt, answer. For example..."love the sinner, hate the sin" and "Christians aren't perfect" (that one when confronted with their poor behavior. Those Christians who live and act like this are the ones with unclean hearts and are fervently hiding behind their religion instead of facing themselves and their issues.

Answer 9

I don't know if it's such a good idea to attempt washing your own heart. I'm not a cardiovascular surgeon and would probably mess something up.

And for that matter, I would think that brainwashing is out of the question.

(Don't worry. I don't think they are all brainwashed. Just some of them.)

Answer 10

I would both their xian heart and brain be washed,
and not with bloodshed purges "almost all" sins;
but with "grace and truth" purges the conscience;
which law and lie notably do not do: Hebrews 9.

"God our Saviour" will notably have two things:
- all men saved (graced in their heart), AND
- all men aware what they're saved from: law

So in the end already written there's no l-w at all:

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
