I do not let anyone tell me something is true without looking to see for myself.
sure....right...but WHAT is it you are reading? Who wrote it? How do you 'know' who wrote it and what their motives were? I could easily change that last sentence to....Those who blindly believe whatever they read in a book are the ones who are brainwashed.
You see the most important requirement for 'brainwashing' is the person who is brainwashed has NO IDEA they are brainwashed...so if you think you are brainwashed then you aren't but if you think you aren't then you probably are....
know this..."GOD" did NOT write that bible you love to quote so much! Disputing that fact is INSANE!
I don't just believe what is written in a book, I compare what I read to other sources. I do all my thinking. NOBODY tells me how to think or what to think. And yes I agree, the most important requirement for 'brainwashing' is that the person does not know they are. However, it is not the ONLY requirement. Tell me this, if it is so important that the person does not know they are being brainwashed, then how do YOU know you aren't brainwashed yourself?
And as to your statement about God not writing the Bible, yes, I believe He did. He used man as a tool to write it. There are no contradictions in the Bible. If you think you found a contradiction then maybe you need to study it more, you may be misunderstanding something. All the books of the Bible fit together even when they were written at different times when the ones writing it didn't have any of the other books to go by. Can you explain that?
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Disputing that fact that one believes in the Lord and that He is the one that wrote the Bible is not insane, it is showing faith. If you believe it to be insane, then that is your opinion. I can not tell you what to think of me or anyone who has the faith the Lord gave them to believe. However, if you believe it to be insane, then why do you argue against it? If it is insane to you then you must be insane to argue it, right?
