[QUOTE="23crossdressers"] Most of religion thing in it self is symbols, and symbols are real. none of the religions were based on logical rhetoric. it isn't philosophy, it is art, it is ideas. br0kenrabbit

Designed specifically to mold the minds of followers to be consistent with whoever dictates that religion. Yeah, I get it.

[QUOTE="23crossdressers"]You are not an iron pillar of willpower that isn't influenced by anything that exists, you are a product of your environment, as i am as well. You can believe the bible and still critical think, if you cast out your demons and your soul you have done nothing but made yourself a Hollow Person. which many so-called critical thinkers have done. br0kenrabbit

I think the idea of demons are as silly, childish and irrational as invisible friends. To suggest that these invisible and influential beings dwell inside me, well, when someone suggests that I really have to fight the urge to talk to them as I would a child and calmly explain that there are no monsters under the bed.

Indoctrination is itself control. You form the mind to think how you desire it to do so.

Religion was invented as a means to power and control.

Oh, I agree. 99% of Religion is man-made and pointless. I believe in a Person that caused the one true religion.
