    That's all very wrong.

        Patently untrue.

        Christians tend to be very simple minded people. You're told not to question things, and you go "okies" after all. The psychology behind indoctrination, groupthink, etc. is pretty well understood at this point. You're not as complex as you want to think you are.
        People who get indoctrinated don't really have faith. It's not that easy.

          You are quite ignorant. It takes a lot to understand why PH believes people become Christian. I have yet to find an Christian who actually knows.

            Yes, that's exactly what they have. They're conditioned to trust in what they've been told and not to question it. In other words, simply believe in something.

            What other purpose do you think church service actually serves? It's a vessel of indoctrination (as well as a fundraising activity for the church itself)

              I'll start here. It's not as hard to 'face up to reality' as you think it is. You really shouldn't pat yourself on the back for it. It's people like you, not me, who get indoctrinated.

                How could you tell? You have no idea.

                  So the person who blindly trusts what is told to him is not indoctrinated, while the scientists who examines facts as they present themselves is?

                    That's nonsense. It's not that simple dude.

                      It really is. You just can't bring yourself to face it, which is precisely why your counterpoints are vacant of any real argument.

                        You're the one who's blind. I've been given sight.

                            There's no argument to give that you would understand. When you're blind, your blind.

                            • That is a very compelling argument.

                              Do you understand that your behaviour here legitimately qualifies as insane?

                                Oh, now you think you are a qualified psychologist? You seem just as ignorant about that discipline.
