Religious Brainwashing of Children - How can this be right?

Wants all your money? Where does it say that...
Anyways, they were taught that from a young age, maybe 5 or younger.
In the movie they explain how if you start young, that's all they know and are basicly forced to believe it. They really don't know any better.

I wasn't talking specifically about the video there, I was talking about Christianity in general, the Church asking for money, the Pope/Vatican City getting millions if not billions of dollars the list goes on.

Actually, they only ask for 1/10th of what you earn per week.

These kids are really stupid, it's pretty much common sense from when you're 8 onwards that you don't blindly follow stupid belief systems that are set to restrict your freedom and your liberties. People have to think for a second, "Why am I following someone that I have never saw, never heard and will send me to 'hell' if I don't want to believe in him anymore, he also WANTS ALL MY MONEY!" Sorry for the rant there, but it's true.

nah. if you ever take a psychology class, they breaks down stages of life and how we think in them. firstly, there is no such thing as "common sense." it does not exist. secondly, in teenage years, especially in early teenage years, kids are looking for something to follow. you can see it everywhere, its why kids follow trends. its why they tend to idolize celebrities. virtually all of them do these things, but many do it in different ways. these adults are taking advantage of the vulnerable stages of these kids' lives. they arent "stupid," they are just looking for something to be a part of, which is what all kids are looking for.

Exactly what I said. +REP

People also believed the crap Hitler came out with...

Hitler worked on a policy that if you tell someone a lie enough times, eventually they'll believe it.

I'm imagining these kid's parents have been feeding them this rubbish since they were born. Afterall, a kid of that age won't choose to go to a camp like that - their parents would send them.

[Laggings]

Exactly. They've been taught, kept in a bubble, and forced to believe this stuff. When I watched the movie it was, "I homeschool my kid because I don't like what the public school offers". Bunch of crap tbh.

You are incorrect there. The kids are targetted because they believe whatever they hear, if they'd grown out of it, younger children would be targetted.

Sorry Kyle!, you got busted.

Sorry Kyle!, you got busted.

"Busted"? It's a competition now? I was saying what I believe in, and what I'd be like if I was in there position. I honestly, can't see myself, no matter if I was being brought up like what they were from the age of one, blindly submitting to God, being the person I am, and always have been, I would think, question and then question again.

So before we start turning this into a competition of what's right and what's wrong, it was my opinion.
