@ Alain

So far you have provided no "logic" whatsoever. None. Zero. Zilch. All you have provided is a huge pile of woo woo bullshit.

Finally, like Talyyn, you ain't no friend of mine, thus you do not get to use a nickname. It is Arakish.

Additionally, I just went back and re-read this thread. You are doing nothing except behaving like our banished Avant Brown. You are being completely ignorant (ig•nur•unt) and ignorant(ig•nor•unt) like all Religious Absolutists. Hopefully, you will read this entire post because it does describe you as the troll you are.

About Religious Absolutist Training

If it does not conform to what was taught during their indoctrination process, then they are to deny it by looking at evidence through God Glasses, which is nothing more than confirmation bias. (There are even Religious Absolutist made YouTube videos about God Glasses. Just do a YouTube search for “god glasses.”) Confirmation bias is where you simply repudiate anything that stands against your beliefs, even if it irrefutably counters those beliefs. You only affirm those things that you think you can rationalize from your indoctrination process to make sense for your position. Using rationality and logic, this means it is nothing more than playing “make-believe,” and it is not even a sincere belief most of the time. It is a delusion called, “Let’s play pretend.”

The Religous Absolutists usually begin the training from early childhood through a controlled, systematic, totalitarian indoctrination process which utilizes mental rape, emotional molestation, and psychological terrorism when a child’s mind, especially in the ages of 4 to 14 years, is at its most susceptible and most vulnerable to cultural conditioning. I know this for fact because it is the ghastly, abhorrent, and terrifying nightmare I endured as a child for seven years. Tyrannically dictated norms of fidelity are imposed such that children are trained to vomit conflicting ideas and to never consider their veracity. And I look back at this and, to this day, wonder how in hell I could have allowed those horrible savages to brainwash me that way. Although it never truly took, I was worn to the point I gave up and succumbed. I had to play pretend just to keep them from continuing to ostracize me, excommunicate me, abuse me.

Religious Absolutists are trained to react to ideas, and to reject them no matter what they are told, presented, and/or taught. They are taught to never question their beliefs. Militantly trained to maintain and preserve the faith. And, due to this designed abusive training and indoctrination process, they shall do so with apologetics, beguiling dialectical semantics, distorted and perverted data, emotional whiny-ass pleas, and sometimes divinely-inspired violence. Worst of all, their conditioning is so ingrained that most never question why they need to defend their belief at all. This form of indoctrination, no matter its intended outcome, is actually “child abuse” in the form of psychological terrorism. All of which is immoral in any moral landscape. However, due to the First Amendment, religion gets a free ride to practice all the immorality they wish. One only has to prove it is religious to prove it is not immoral.

An indoctrination process which teaches you to never think for yourself, but to close your mind against all things except for what some sky-faerie in an obsolete and irrelevant and barbaric and savagely immoral Bronze Age religious text commands you to think. For me, that is the most heinous of acts, especially to do it to children. And no matter whatever you may say to the contrary, this is child abuse. Ask Richard Dawkins.

And I wholeheartedly agree with David Killens at the Atheist Republic forums:

“I despise apologists, especially those who use their skills to sway the minds of children, and rob them of their independence and self-worth. They also begin a journey of life that will always posses fear. I do not like it, and if I had the power, I would prosecute apologists for child abuse.

“You beat a child, they will bruise, but they will recover. Teach them religion, and they lose many admirable characteristics, and be scarred (and pretty messed up) for life. Both are despicable acts, but one inflicts major long term damage.”

In addition to prosecuting the Apologist Religious Absolutists, I would also prosecute the parents for condoning and allowing such abuse to be visited upon their child.

I submit to you, that to believe in this manner is not being human. Instead it is just being a mindless drone obeying an imaginative figment. You are just pretending to be like one of those Nazis when he defended his actions by saying, “But I was just obeying orders.”

And this shall not be the only time I ask this: “What the hell is wrong with you Religious Absolutists that you must wipe the mind of what may turn out to be the next Nobel Prize Winner that may discover something so profound…?”

Except in your case, although you may not have been trained in your bullshit, you have read a few woo woo books and have deluded yourself.
