I just don't get it...

RE: I just don't get it...
It's indoctrination fed by a cult of personality (literally in this case). People are born into their religion. From day 1, they're surrounded by the myths and the propaganda, and told by their parents and various authority figures that this is the truth. Before they're of an age when they can adequately question, they're told and molded to not question.

At the same time, the faith rests upon a charismatic leader or two spewing the heady mix of paradise for true believers and hellfire for heathens, all based on cherry picked quotes. God loves YOU, you see, because you're one of the chosen few. The rest are enemies who will get what's coming to them in the end times. And then, won't they be sorry?

Those few that do question the bullshit are made to feel weak and bad and more dependent on the group. You're sinful. Your faith is weak. Do you really want to throw away your family? Your friends? For these blasphemous, secular thoughts? Read the bible again, this time with an open heart, and you'll find the answer.

It's the definition of a cult. We see it with the responses the Christians on here regurgitate. It's predicable because it's programmed. Threats, guilt trips, lies, etc. They've all been on display in the various threads here. Because a cult cannot abide a lack of control and deviation from the script.

Hallelujah.
