Honest Answers needed from Christians? What if you were dosed with mind-altering drugs-without your knowledge nor consent-?
When you finally found out about it- that this was done to covertly make you receptive to the Church's Doctrines:
1. Would you reject Christianity and all its Doctrines?
2. Would you reject only that one church, but go to another church, that taught the same Doctrines?
3. Would you go to another church, that also dosed you with mind-altering hypnotic drugs, but be selective in what Doctrines you accepted?
4. Would you believe that each and every church uses that method?
5. Have you got any idea of what I am talking about?
6. And do you believe that this is indeed the case?

by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. Anaxagoras
maintained that snow is black, but no one believed him.
The social psychologists of the future will have a number of
classes of school children on whom they will try different
methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is
black. Various results will soon be arrived at.<<<
>>>First, that the influence of home is obstructive.
Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten.
Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective.<<<

Music, of course, is an effective trigger of endorphins.
Christians can be made to believe in even the exact opposite of what Jesus Taught and Commanded, if they can be made to sing it nice and sonorously.
Things that are injurious to them Spiritually, Mentally, Bodily, and Materially.
You can probably call several good examples to mind, already....?
