New Darkmatter vid: indoctrination and reinforcement
He's done it again. This perfectly sums up and explains why intelligent people can hold ridiculous beliefs. It puts into pictures all the things I keep saying about indoctrination. If you've not heard of him before, check out his channel, darkmatter2525 on youtube. He is awesome.

Yeah, that's why theists want their god in schools, alongside more practical things like science and history. The best way to convert is by targeting the vulnerable, and children are pretty vulnerable.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Good stuff, wonder if our theists viewers will watch it and consider it.

RE: New Darkmatter vid: indoctrination and reinforcement
Speaking from experience, once you question and subsequently reject the ridiculous claim, people close to you may look at you like you're poop! However, making your position known, can at least lead to their own questioning of the ridiculous claim at some point, even if they don't reject it outright. 

I reckon that's something!

But putting that first crack in the dam is pretty hard when the other party considers logic and knowledge to be the devil's work.

The irritating thing is that people who say that crap do use reason and evidence for just about everything else apart from religion.

I love to hear something false about this "propaganda" from any theist.
If you can't find anything false, then you must think it is true? Cognitive dissonance anyone?

The videos on that channel are always worth a watch, and this latest one is no different. I am glad I subscribed all that time ago. I have learned so much.
