It sounds something like heroin to you; sorry to hear that. I hope you're off of it for good now. I'm lucky in the way that when I took one critical look at it one day, I never looked back. I had an image of jesus in my head for about 1-2 weeks, but I knew it was my brain, but still it can bother you. Many other people have this problem, including some folks on here. There have been some very recent threads of people not being able to get rid of the fear of hell or the possibility of an evil god out there. The power of brainwashing is very serious, we're here if you need us. Stick around and try to listen to logic, and try your best to ignore the made-up stories. Watch some George Carlin, that'll cheer you up.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
