I often wonder how "they" would feel if someone "brainwashed" one their children and caused that child to "shun" them. HOW WOULD THEY FEEL ?


I brought this up in debate months ago to a UPCer who debates here once in awhile. The debate was about a minor's right to be baptized into a church/religion if their parents are against it. They think it is alright for THEM because they are "right" (in their own mind) and the other religion is "wrong". When I asked how they would feel if someone indoctrinated their child into Islam or Mormonism, they accused me of blaspheming God and being a bleeding heart liberal. So these people really are not thinking with a rational mind, or in the habit of looking at the world through another's eyes. Unfortunately, everyone in the church was proably either brought in and learned to shun family, or they were born into it. So the brainwashed become the brainwashers. They don't see the error in their ways because they themselves are teaching others that the same thing. I am beginning to believe there nothing more insidious than a cult!
Who are these people behind the stained glass windows? Have they forgotten just what they came here for? Was it salvation or "scared of hell" or
an assembly of a social get-together?
