I'm thinking about the crutch analogy Alex. It's a very good one. It's like they convince you your legs are busted when they really aren't. I also like the analogy that it's a kind of addictive hallucinogenic drug. They get you hooked on it, and you think you keep needing it, where if you'd never been exposed to it in the first place you never would have needed it.
Also... I was thinking of people who lose a limb and are troubled by phantom limbs. It's almost like religion persuades you that you have a third arm which is forever around your neck, squeezing you when you "sin". After being conditioned enough, people really believe it. And all we need to get people to do is accept there is no third arm, it's all in their head.
