Repetition and brow beating. Death threats and making an example of others if the others fail.
Yeah, but when you're old enough you know better. It's the childhood brainwash that plants the seed. Eliminate that and the nightmare is over.

For myself I'd say god has his/her work cut out. It would probably require altering my ability to exercise free will. Most religions have too many hypocritical practices and texts for me to buy into the bs.
There is a further question if you're a theist. We'll give your intelligence the benifet of the doubt and ask why you still believe with all the evidence against the bible/torah/whatever?
With all the "proof" and "case" threads going on that are either trolls or actually trying convert a few of us, I'm curious.
I'm perfectly willing to compromise my views for cold hard cash.
I'd convert to Christianity for about £6 Million.

Pick a better religion and I will fold for 6mil. There is nothing that could make me fold for the Jesus character. Dull forgery.
