Are we brainwashed by our parents to bilieve in god?

[Like Naruto]

Ok think about this,

Lets say your a kid vs your 18 year old self...

Lets start with the kid, your parents told you god exist.." Youre a sinner even though you didnt do anything thats why you have to give money from church and go to church every sunday so that god will forgive you for your sins..."

Next your 18 now..
They told you about "Youre a sinner even though you didnt do anything thats why you have to give money from church and go to church every sunday so that god will forgive you for your sins..."

Let me ask you guys, if your parents told you god exist when your adult would you still bilieve? I personally would just laugh it off..

It's because you've lived your whole life learning about science.
Theres plenty of people that grew up believing in God but now they don't. Pretty much all of my friends don't believe anymore.
Living your whole life with a certain mindset, its hard to change that mindset the more you age.
Personally I would ask why God exists and why we would need to believe. Actually, that is exactly what I did, because I didn't really believe in a God for a really long time.
Also, we don't give money to the church because we sin, and if you know the definition of sin, then you would understand that christians believe that we sin no matter what, not that you didnt do anything. I would probably laugh it off if they didn't give me the truth about christianity.

I think the same goes for any belief if you were raised to believe something else at a younger age.

 

[Illuminater]

Duh. Imagine if religion was illegal to teach to kids till they turn 18. No one would be religious

See it's like this.... parent their house their rules......they want you to go to church...you go to church. I believe in God. I just don't believe in religion. Also you don't go to church( well at least the ones I've been to) and give money. You donate it. Big difference ask former scientologist.

Also are you this guy?

The use of god via the church is bad but the concept of god isn't entirely bad, neither is believing in it.

I don't know depends on the person when they grow up if you ponder on why you exist and what is this universe you live in and how it came into being then you tend to look at greater power not necessarily the god that is taught about it most religions cause religion, which is just an easy way to explain things and people are not allowed to question it. Or you could be a retard and walk around not even pondering on why you exist.

So kids when they grow up would either stay in the safety of religious beliefs or not care about complicated stuff, or walk on the path of enlightenment. So it depends on the person and how their mind develops.

 

[Mari Makinami]

Not my case for sure. I come from a family of scientists. Everything they taught me when I was young helped me a lot.

 

[JENchuuriki]

why do you always ask about God everyday? XD

can you go to a church now or service and ask pastors/priest or whoever is in there XD XD XD

seriously!

I guess parents ,most of the time, are correct. It is because they already spent 20/30/40 years and they actually know everything which we don't unless we get to their age. They have real life experience unlike us.

God exists as to the same level as we believe air exists. We cant see air but we can feel it so same logic applies to god. If you start thinking deep on the things then you would realize that God does exist and our parents were always right.

As far as the issue of being sinner even if we do nothing concerned, this doesn't apply on me as i was raised by muslim parents and they never told me anything like this. Yea, its also in our religion that we all are sinners but that is what makes us more pure and morally correct as we regularly critically evaluate ourselves i.e am i doing right thing or not? And on which areas i have to improve myself so that i wont hurt other persons.

In the end, I can prove you that God does exist if you would ask me to do so.

My mum is a Christian and took me to church every week. That being said, I can safely say that I have not been brainwashed and found Christianity by myself.

I would like to see that proof. My theory was that although God leaves hints of his existence everywhere, there is no conclusive proof. He does this so that instead of worshipping out of fear or reward, we worship out of faith.

 

[Jinrou]

Brainwashed? Are you saying parents don't have a right to pass on ideals they think are right to their children knowing fully well they'll make their own choices when they get older?
Are you also going to ask if kids are brainwashed with the idea of learning simply because their parents enrolled them into schools to learn?

Yea, i completely agree with your last statement. And that's what i believe.

God does exist. This can be proved by many ways. So, i am going to write one of the reasons i believe in existence of god.

So one of the biggest reason for me to believe in god is this:

I used to think about the existence of all the stars and planets which are above in the sky. I used to question, Why ONLY humans have the "intelligence" to think? why don't other creatures have the ability to think? Why humans are the only one on earth with wisdom? In fact, we are the only ones in whole universe given with wisdom. Why goats/lions dont have intelligence like us?

Then i realize we are the only ones with the wisdom to act as to our will unlike other creatures because we are being tested and examined by our God.

Then it was stated in the Quran which aligned with my understanding:

Spoiler

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?

[al-Mu’minoon 23:115, 116]

Spoiler

We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not”

[al-Dukhaan 44:38

Spoiler

“Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.

Those who remember Allaah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:190, 191]
