The purpose of this blog is to demonstrate and analyze religious/political indoctrination techniques of Christians, Jews, and Muslims, as well as address religious dogma. What qualifies me to attack these head-on and why am I passionate?
I know the INs-and-OUTs of the Christian publishing industry because I was actively involved in producing Christian propaganda for the world’s largest Protestant denomination for nearly thirteen years. Additionally, I have a graduate degree in Political Communication where my primary focus was political advertising and communication. Religious communication is in many ways nothing more than a form of political communication. Church leaders utilize indoctrination techniques that are common in the political realm.
To demonstrate this, I will provide an example. In 2002 or so, the Southern Baptist organization where I worked was hosting an event for state convention leaders. We invited the communication directors from various other Southern Baptist entities to participate. During a break in between sessions, I was mingling with these individuals. Their work intrigued me. One of the men, a director from the International Mission Board (IMB), divulged some interesting information. He said that they had been examining the communication techniques of the Ayatollah Khomeini during and after the 1979 Iranian Revolution in which the Ayatollah successfully overthrew the secular government and installed a theocratic dictatorship.
I certainly do not judge the IMB for this. It is a perfectly legitimate endeavor. If you are running a large religious organization and your mission is to indoctrinate as many people as possible throughout the world, you learn from the best.
This is but one example of the correlation between religion and politics and indoctrination and propaganda. I will provide more in future posts. I hope this blog is instrumental in causing people to think about what they are taught and how to recognize subtle religious dogma in all formats.
It sounds like you have an ideal background to address many topics related to Christianity and how it works. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteYou might be skeptical at the moment but will Jesus accept your excuses when you have to appear in his courtroom when you pass from this life to the next?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! You're a hoot. Provide evidence that you are right and I'm wrong. How do I know Islam isn't right? How do I know Hinduism isn't right? Without evidence it's just you're word against theirs.
ReplyDeleteI remember Bob from the time I used to comment on The Christian Post. I don't have a Facebook account any more, so that was the end of that, but there are still a couple of characters I recall from the dark days of social networking ;.)
ReplyDeleteDid you know that according to the new testaments Jesus was a warlord? He wasn't a nice person. Find out more at http://logicwindow.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteThere is no God, we aren't created by any creator.
Jesus is Lord, Daniel There is much evidence for Jesus, and i would love to share it with you.
ReplyDeleteDaniel I did not grow up in Church, Once I was in a Church,maby I was thirteen, or fourteen. I came forward,was convicted of my sin,and there was a deep awareness that that the life I had was not all there was. The most important thing ever to happen caught me tottally by suprise , the most exellent thing happened and I could not fake anything at all, now any true conversion is the same no fakeing, just
ReplyDeletesuch innoence as you would find in a hospital nursery. Now what Im getting at is Daniel we have this thing built within us, and it is there for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to know God, hear His voice, know Him, o and Daniel we can know Him.God is Love, I mean Gods Love, essesance, Jesus is God, O there are si many things I wish to share with, God understsnds, we are creatures of
reason, and There are many things that we will make a case for Faith, yet it is faith Daniel, but what I urge you to consider now is:You can know the truth, You will kbow God's love, His voice, His touch. I know what your thinking, because I read your entry to this sight, how can we know which God is real, when there are so many that are called god in the world. Do you kniw that according to scripture bible scripture I mean, that we are called gods, notice the little 《g》same in scriptures(ST. JOHN CH.10:34-35), I wonder, did you know that the devil is called the god of this world(2 Corinthians 4:4). All threw the ages men have had many different gods, as still today, the only difference being, at those times befor Christ, God winked at men haveing other god, winked, means overlooked, beceause He was only concerned with prepearing the world For Christ and He used the Hebrews for that, but afther Christ has come God commandeth men everywhere to repent,You see Daniel that is the good news that God in Christ Jesus made a way for us to know God, to return to Him, the one and only true and Living God, well I hope you consider this, Let me leave you with a question, if you needed to get to a certain destanation, and you knew what this destanation look like, but you had never been there befor, and then an enemy came and set up a whole bunch of fake destanations, that look in some way or another like your destianation, how would you make it to your destanation? Use your GPS of course God possitioning System, He will never stear you wrong daniel. It is ok to get off course some times, we all do that, but don't give up the jounery buddy.
