If so how is this any different than NOT following God's prescribed path, but demanding He follow your methodology?
Because 'God's prescribed path' is self-brainwashing. That's the last thing I think a real God would have to resort to in order to gain believers, but it sounds a LOT like the method a con artist would like me to use.
There are no paths that are immune from being used as a tool of brain washing. The fact that you yourself want to attribute all forms of learning to 'science' (like History and or theology) means at some point you were told or maybe you decided for yourself that everything falls under a scientific umbrella. When in fact it does not. Again Karl popper the father of the Philosophy of all modern science placed limits to what true science can be applied to and what it can not.
You decided for whatever reason that the scientific limitations that the whole world yields to doesn't apply to your understanding of how science works. Where the indoctrination (or rather attempted indoctrination) comes in is found in your own efforts to push past, the established limits of science and demand scientific evidence for subject matter that do not fall under purview of science. Your constance insistence and call for scientific evidence for theological subject matters is nothing more than a form of gas lighting.
