Teach children about Jesus at a young age,

No you didn't. You pointedly avoided answering.

So I'll ask again: if you don't care about the motivations behind indoctrination, how can you tell the difference between sincere and mimicked emotions? Further, do you recognise that morally bankrupt methods of indoctrination can result in sincere, 'positive', emotions which psychologists would consider as symptoms of metal health issues (e.g. Stockholm Syndrome)?
Sum ergo sum

Fine, lets review.

Well, I've certainly not been talking about anything else. I'm trying to break you out of your quasi-Boolean thinking. A suitably manipulative person, when not framed by any ethical concerns, can use a variety of indoctrinative techniques can get anyone to believe, sincerely, anything. That's been the thrust of my criticism of your initial position (which you still haven't cleared up for me yet - Do you care about the motivations or not?!).
As I have already stated, you cannot produce Love out of fear, they reside on opposite ends of the spectrum, the same way that you cannot produce white from black.

Being motivated out of love and being motivated out of fear are two completely different things, how can you not see this?

Quote: "which is why I refered to the Nazi example.
Do you agree with the above statement?
I'm sure most Nazis were good, kind & loving, to their mothers, to friends & colleagues, maybe even to broader society on the whole. Just don't ask them about Jews or Gypsies. So I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve using this example, other than to highlight the continues failure of your quasi-Boolean thinking.

Again I addressed this, I'll refer back to an earlier post.




Quote:You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love (agapēseis) your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love (agapāte) your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?
— Matthew 5:43-46,

The Nazis clearly did not love their enemies, as even you yourself acknowledged, therefore that is not Agape love. If the Nazis followed the above advice, like i said before, no one would of had a problem with them.

Quote:You cannot produce love with hate, you cannot "indoctrinate" people with hateful ideology and produce love, It's common sense.
Yes you can. Stockholm syndrome is a perfect example as are cases of DA.
No you can't, this means the person is mentally unstable.

A young girl suffering sexual abuse and turning into a nymphomaniac is not considered a positive outcome (no matter how much her significant other may seem to think so), that's a clear sign of psychological damage.

There is an "insanity" plea for a reason, people who aren't of sound mind aren't held to the same standard as people that are.

Well, I'm not. Do you think that North Koreans love each other any less than any other society?

Once again, Agape, remember?

You're wrong. Please see above.

No, YOU see above.

Quote:Either it's love or it isn't, to "mimic" love means it's NOT love.
And yet again, if ou don't care about the motivations behind it, how can you tell the difference? I'm going to keep asking this until I actually get an answer and not a dodge.
Whether or not I can tell the difference is irrelevant, If someone truly exhibits love for everyone, what do I care how it got there? If a Doctor, for instance volunteered to help people for free, are you telling me you're worried about his motivations?

No I didn't. I stated that if you don't care about the motivations behind behaviour, you can't differentiate between someone who is actually loving and someone who is mimicking love. I used domestic abuse as an example.
