Are people that brainwashed they dont even stop and question their religion?

[MoralMan]

Like, I cant eat pork or ill go to hell for an eternity but if I blow up a load of people who dare not believe the same as me I go to heaven?
Also my hero liked raping 9 year old girls.
Or what about two fucking penguins walked from Antartica to the middle east to get into a big wooden boat?

Just 3of many examples.

[Mr Anabolic]

People who do question it often end up agnostics or atheists.

[MoralMan]

I was brainwashed as a kid by Catholism. Realised when I was about 13 what a load of shit it was. My poor Aunt still lives by the Bible. Nice woman but so naïve. Oh well at least shes not murdering innocent people who don't share her beliefs like some others out there.

We are all brainwashed and conditioned by circumstance. Don't think that you are somehow not affected by conditioning. Society and media for example brainwashes us constantly.

This is some of the funniest shit I've read all day!

[Papper]

Why would you question your religion, which ypu have adopted for comforting reasons..

Like you would question your possessions like your laptop or car because they don't make you happy, ypu should throw them out? No, they give you drug like effects so you do not.

I've thrown out a laptop because it kept locking up on me.

Conditioning - big factor. But overall - religious people are people who feel weak. Religion helps them to not get into a desperation/depression. If you'd have a chance to dig deeper in seriously religious persons mind, most of the time you'd find out that they had a depression some time in the past, or have currently. Religion probably is a better solution than alcohol/drugs or antidepressants. It's a way to get that "buzz", that artificial feeling of "joy" and "happiness" even when real life shows different. Many (most?) people are more or less religious, it simply means that most people are weak and need "something" (imaginary friend) to feel safer, stronger, more "sure" about their state of being.
 Questioning a belief system that enables you to somewhat feel calmer (when you feel miserable otherwise) is a difficult thing to do. Alcoholics doesn't question their drinking habits, because they intuitively feel that these habbits keep them at "calm" and "comfort" and if stopped - reality sets in, sometimes very harsh, and much effort needs to be put in to make it bearable, it's a lot more simple to stay intoxicated/believing in god or whatever other fuck ppl believe in

It sort of makes sense because it didn't give you the serotin release you craved

Everything we do is a drug, to drug ourselves for comfort, to suppress the knowledge that we will die and that there is no grand purpose. Whether religion, ideology, any entertainment, drugs or militant sobriety, even training. All to distract and numb our brains.

Yes, drug driven we are

So it really is no wonder some do drugs, some pray or whatever shit you do

It's really an unfair compliment to pressume people have a deep intellectual reasoning behind their hobbys and habits

Immaculate conception, magic man in the sky, talking snakes, rise from the dead after 3 days, parting the red sea, giant boat with 2 of everything, on and on and on...

Funniest fiction book I ever read...

Whoever wrote it must ve been on some awesome drugs!

[Fortress]

Total joke. Mankind's pathetic. Scared of his own mortality. Like, What, me, die?!  Outrageous ego coupled with paralyzing fear.

It is 2016 and billions still clinging to fairy tales.

Having said all this, I HATE Islam with a ferocious intensity. Pure vile and wretched religion/ideology. At every opportunity it needs to be mocked, criticized and degraded. Its homicidal god and murdering pedo prophet is the very definition of spiritual filth.

Allah-baba and Mohamed can lick my wang into eternity.

So, you have a lot of anger and guilt built up?

[Never1AShow]

Overall I think religious folks make better neighbors.  Good church going folks (or synagogue or mosque) tend to live their lives properly, taking care of their kids and handling their own business.  Maybe they need religion because they are weak, but I'd rather have those types than the types that use booze or drugs for their weakness.

[The Scott]

Faith gives hope.  The reality of man often makes people vomit.  I can accept the pain of what is now when I have the hope of better. What Jesus taught is worthy of belief.

I don't force others to wear the same shoes as I or any shoes for that matter.  I despise false prophets (more profits) and ministers, lay people, what have you, be they faux christians or the something else.  Islam sucks, period.  One of the finest people I have known in my life was an Atheist and he was not an ass about it. 

I have no problem questioning my faith and often do so to the OP I say this.  Get over it.

[Fortress]

I was raised Roman Catholic and then in my 20s was wakened to its, and all religious beliefs, absurdity.

I have never been drunk, smoked a cigarette or used recreational drugs. I require no crutch.

We live. We die. That's it. I do not find this reality depressing or troubling. On the contrary, I find my mortality and the pointlessness of my existence to be extraordinarily liberating. Because I can't redirect blame or find comfort in some fairy tale entity to "wash" my sins, I take absolute ownership of my actions. I treat others with kindness (where earned), knowing they're suffering in the general same ways as am I.

Nothing is going to "save me". I try my damndest to live with dignity, honour and grace, and I experience happiness pursuing those hobbies in which I have found vitality and energy.

Religion is for the egotistical/weak/idiotic. Same goes for alcohol (in excess), recreational drugs and meanness towards others who are decent, caring and self aware.

To those who are cruel, needlessly violent and/or problematic, I hope a quick and cheap death. No feelings of remorse.

Humans inherently have no worth. An individual EARNS his worth, over time.

And, oh, yeah, Islam can fuck itself right to hell (a fictional place, of course).

[Tha Grim Lifter]

Religion is just like Protein Powders (or other supplements, or amount of protein needed)

People are too scared not to use it or believe in it just in case. What if they don't!!!!

Bodybuilding related.

[Man of Steel]

I follow my religion blindly.  No questions asked.  No investigation or proactivity.

Any doubts that might enter my small mind I just suppress as hard as possible while I clinch my fists, grit my teeth and shut my eyes tight.  

After all, it's about remaining a bleating sheep following an invisible, imaginary shepherd because I'm weak, needing of a daddy and afraid of death.

[TheShape.]

I know I'll never change people's minds so I never start anything with religious folks, besudes most are pleasant people, who am I to tell them any different anyways?
