Ever see a police interrogation that pressures people to the extreme not allowing them to sleep, not allowing smokers to have a cig and denying them other things needed to keep their thoughts straight. Brainwashed. I've never seen this type of treatment of Christians, I've seen things that are questionable but, nothing like high pressure interrogation.

Your ability to extrapolate and apply information from one concept to another is amazing, GC.
The point of the OP isn't saying that Christians are purposefully brainwashing people into believing in god. It's saying that our minds are fallible and malleable, and that causes us to form memories and ideas that aren't actually true. The point is that we have to be wary about what we accept as truth, and that there needs to be some sort of method to evaluate what is real and what isn't.
