Yes, I thought when I disbelieved in God, I would be able to believe in objective praise/morality somehow. I couldn't. And I realized I could not truthfully have subjective praise without belief in objective praise.
I went through a crisis. I didn't want to believe in God simply because I wanted to. I had to know him to be true. The dark night of my soul was distressing.
Brainwashing is a tough thing to break, and many have experienced enough pain from it that it really should be prohibited with children, who would be much less susceptible to it as adults. There is also the problem of consent. Anyway, the distress which it causes in those who try and escape it is why so many fail, later in their adult lives.
Brainwashing is objectively anti-social.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
