FATCAT 60,888 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 They recruit the disillusioned. Falsely claim religious goals and brainwash their followers. All religions rely on brainwashing their "followers" so it's not exactly different that they use it. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,888 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Everything is somehow brainwashing. Even education in school. How is Education, brainwashing?

Brainwashing is making people believe or think that something untrue/not real is true or real. I see brainwashing as convincing the followers to believe only what they are told to believe, wether or not its true or real. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

garnite 8 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Exactly. The aim of education. o_O you are now anti-science, anti-reason and anti-education? anti-"anything that calls into question your beliefs". you just said that education is a synonym for brainwashing! i don't think you have any idea what education means. that is not what the aim of education is at all! who is teaching you this stuff? your church? the aim of education is... to educate. that includes teaching people the skills to make their own minds up but also teaching them the facts. and there are things that are facts that everyone has to accept. if it's brainwashing, it's brainwashing all the bad, negative skills like faith and emotion out of logic and reason.

garnite 8 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Ever had Biology class?you believe that adam and eve were real and evolution is false because that's what it says in the bible, not for any biological reasons. you reject biology completely. so i don't think you have anything interesting to say about biology classes or education because you wouldn't know what you were talking about.
