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?

Update:

Does anyone here know what "ENDORPHINS" are, and what they do?

>>>We now know that limelight and a brass band do more to persuade than can be done by the most elegant train of syllogisms. It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.<<<

Update 2:

>>>This subject will make great strides when it is taken up

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.<<<

Update 3:

>>>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.<<<

. . -THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE ON SOCIETY, by Bertrand Russell.

Music, of course, is an effective trigger of endorphins.

Update 4:

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....?

    I'd be mad at the person or people who dosed me, and if the church was responsible I'd leave that church. I can't see how that would affect any other beliefs, except to get me to review those beliefs and what they were based upon again.

    This is a silly question. Liars tell the truth pretty often--that's how they get you to believe them. If you believe that everything a liar told you is false, then you become even more misled than you were when you were believing everything he told you is true. If a liar tells the truth, it is still the truth.

    The holy Spirit convicts you of truth in Jesus Christ. Nobody can come to Christ unless the father allows him to

    This all depends on whether it's true or not. That's like drugging someone to believed the earth is a sphere, and then they found out that they were drugged to believe such a thing. Well, the earth is a sphere, so I'd still believe it, but I'd be pretty ticked that someone drugged me.

    Mind altering drugs.... Sleep deprivation.... Food deprivation.... These are things that define "cults". People like to throw around the word "cult" to define any belief system they don't like or don't agree with, but this is what is really meant by that word. To answer your question, I'd consult law enforcement and run to the closest Kingdom Hall for the truth.

    I would certainly leave that particular sect.

    I would not assume that all Christian sects did the same.

    Since I already carefully examined my religious beliefs *before* joining any Christian sect, I would not question my beliefs. I would, however, be much more careful in choosing a new sect to join.

    I think ridiculous hypotheticals say far more about the one who proposes it than what you are trying to glean from Christians.
