We Are All Brainwashed, Yes, You Are Too. by Nobody: 12:29am On Apr 22, 2017 |
Am I a Christian or my parents were Christians ? Am I a Muslim or my parents were muslims ? Am I a pagan or my parents were pagans ? We do not remember being asked if we choose to be Christians by Christian parents, neither did our muslims parents asked us if we choose to be muslims. They said they knew what was good for us, so they made us embrace their religion, just like their parents made them embrace and so on and so forth. Parents always believe they know better, And we all know how wrong such generalizations are especially for those that got a little more education in 21st century and dare to question why they should interfere in a fight against Jehovah and Satan or Allah and Satan or Idol and Jesus. For fuccks sake, what is my business if powerful entities choose to fight each other. Why are you a pun in the game of the titans ? Cant they just fight and kill each other so we can have peace ? Almost all humans are programmed, brainwashed and zombified to believe their tribe is better, their region is better and their race is better, but is that the truth ? Hell to the no, but what part of us make us kill for Allah, for Jehovah and even for Demons. I think the programming is so silly just thinking about it that an average human looks like a robot, a botnet and zombie controlled by puppeteers. A little story of heaven and hell here and there and we believe without asking for the Address of Heaven and on which constellation and planet. Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for those who believe bull. Next time you wanna insult someone on the ground of religion and tribe, know that you are very very very ignorant of how easy it is to programme the cognitive mind of humans. We are also programming girls for sex and girls program boys for money. Its all a game. Kill for none. 28 Likes 9 Shares |

Religious brain was constructed in a way that "They don't know that their is something they don't know" Robotic form they can't think beyond, even when they have the ability to. Take away fear and religion is doomed 5 Likes 1 Share |

I am a Christian because my parents are and any attempt to change that will get me disowned by the whole family (including my extended family). Now I have to chose between family or giving up my title as a Christian 8 Likes |

Re: We Are All Brainwashed, Yes, You Are Too. by Nobody: 8:09am On Apr 22, 2017 |
rheether: The fact that you are thinking this way shows you are on your way out of illusion. Parents love the idea of God, and they believe the only place they can connect to God is through the Pastors, Churches, Imams, Mosques. Little do they know that God....no longer dwells up there, He used to, when Earth was on 3rd Dimension. Since 2012, Earth's frequency and vibration has crossed into the 4D and humans who are 3D are currently harvested through wars and suicides and other ills. Only those who know that 4D welcomed God into the core of Man, the temple of God, will survive the times. No one really needs religion, as you can do everything, heal and manifest your desires faster instead of an idea of a Sky Daddy, Man, has become one with God. Teach them that. |

Mementoes: A time will come when social communities and organisations will be set up by non-religious people and unbelievers. Associations like Singles Association of Nigeria(SAN) where atheists and non-religious people can meet themselves physically and get married to themselves; Community of Nigerian Thinkers, etc. Buildings shall be raised in different places for such purposes and people can meet, socialise and date through such organisations and associations. It's just a matter of time, it's going to happen. 2 Likes |

Breaking free from the mental prison of religious indoctrination and religion is almost a tedious process but a very liberating one. OP made unfounded assumption of mythical entities as powerful by your statement '...what is my business if powerful entities choose to fight each other?' How did you come about that? I assume you are just beginning your journey. Voltaire got it right long ago: 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities' Religion doesn't explain and has never explained anything; not how we came to be, not history, not the cosmos, not anything not yet fully understood...Science, on the other hand, may be complex to understand, but is one sure way towards liberation from these religious cults. Science is not the opposite of religion, as there are religious scientists, rather science has constantly and proved the falsehood of religious claims as basis for any explanation. Napoleon said, 'Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet,' and with Seneca the Younger: 'Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.' (The God Delusion) The cure for bad religion isn't another religion or Satanism or witchcraft or astrology etc. I read one here who left christianity and is currently in a ecumenical composite sort of beliefs that draws aspects from many religions including satanism but they are all still within the cave of Plato's allegory. Utter waste of time and resources. There is a lot of pseudo-nonsense being offered as alternatives here in this section. Unfounded BS. Let the word 'truth' become and intuition pump for you. eg. Anyone who says 'This is the/let me tell you the/ truth' before or after making any statement should immediately arouse suspicion because the truth needs no label. Get rid of presuppositions and "follow the facts and arguments to wherever it leads" Some Goodreads Why I'm not a Christian - Bertrand Russell; Theology and Falsification - Antony Flew; The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark - Carl Sagan; Breaking the Spell - Daniel Dennett; Why I'm not a Christian - Richard Carrier; and of course, the God Delusion - Richard Dawkins. About the universe and readable foundational science I would suggest: It's not Rocket Science - Ben Miller; Welcome to the Universe - Neil DeGrasse Tyson; A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking; Cosmos - Carl Sagan. About resistance and opposition you would certainly come across, with knowledge of facts and understanding of science, you would be fine ie. if you're not in the north I get prayed for and my 'secret soceity' cursed everyday by even my mother, saying she won't come for my funeral if I die but that's what christianity and religion does to people when they follow the bible literally '“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters — yes, even his own life — he cannot be My disciple. Lk 14:26 Anyway, good luck to you. I see Wilgrea7 is still sympathetic to christianity *** I see you are still talking about god within, 3D, 4D and 5D existence and atheists would find god Man God will help us 4 Likes |

You don't have to choose...just become enlightened by reading verifiable materials and break free of religion. Don't tell them yet until you can cogently explain your position to even a 5 year old. Not believing in any god or christianity isn't an achievement, becoming enlightened and knowledgeable is. rheether: 5 Likes 1 Share |

He is God, but won't, or is it can't, save your family but it's not you to judge. He can do and undo, unshakeable and unchangeable, He chose you. Give Jesus a big hand. But why haven't you asked him to save your family? An2elect2: |

An2elect2: Yes, you are right in your own knowledge of truth, your truth. What becomes your truth is a result of years of constant programming, if this programming is right or wrong is a different kettle of fish. The Mind is a processor and our thoughts are the input devices. Our teachers, parents, pastors, Imams, Shamans, siblings, friends and even the enemies and critics are our programmers. How we rationalize the ideas before accepting them to become part of our reality defines the quality of truths, our version of the truth. But is your Truth, the Universal Truth ? Or is your truth, just relative to the absolute truth ? Ponder on these wise words of mine and stay hungry, for new frontiers ofcourse. Nothing is fixed in your mind, except you fix them, that is the birth of dogma. Something the wise have learnt to avoid. 5 Likes |

permit me to clear a misconception..... MOST christians are not Christians because they find the bible so interesting or because they've found complete harmony in the scriptures etc... some Christians are Christians because of indoctrination.... these types are the ones who are usually dogmatic... some others are Christians because they expect something from God... more like a “serve me and I'll give you this" situation... also, some are Christians because of their hunger for miracles.. this type is common in Nigeria... these ones I've listed are more prone to losing their religion when they either get disappointed or when their indoctrination wears off... some are Christians because they found something in Christianity... some saw warmth.. some saw purpose... some saw love... some saw power.. although it all depends on denomination.. people feel Christians are Christians because they made sense of all the scriptures in the bible... no... in fact... some Christians don't know many things about the bible... I'm not a Christian today because i found the bible “complete" or i made sense of everything there... not everything makes sense... not everything has to... although i now know more about the Bible than many Christians and even some atheists... everyone has their reasons for being Christian... my parents were not Christians even Christians when i was born... my dad isn't a Christan till today... so i have my reasons... we all have our different stories 3 Likes |
