Here is a poignant video about the coercive persuasion, mind control, and brainwashing of Christianity. It exposes all kinds of mind control characteristics and methodologies even of those outside Christianity, but anyone who either is a Christian or has been a Christian will see the marks of Christian programming and indoctrination in this little film. I have made some comments below concerning one aspect of this mind control that is touched upon in this video. I hope you enjoy it!



In this video you hear the following statement: "Your bible clearly states that I am the the Messiah" (concerning a cult leader). The vast majority of people, both Christian and non-Christians alike, know that if someone claims to be the messiah you know it is just bullshit.

One of the greatest deceptions of Christianity is for the bible to claim Jesus as the Messiah. Why? Because he is not here. He is not a person to talk to physically. He is supposedly only reached through the holy spirit (which of course you cannot sit down with at a table and have a cup of tea together and chat). The mind is forced to have faith in an unseen deity whom cannot be physically questioned or communicated with (physical, verbal communication). The only source of physical "communication" with god is the bible (For christians: here is not the place to discuss spiritual communication through prayer and internal dialog with the holy spirit, thats another article) and the bible teaches that the leaders of the faith (pastors, elders, deacons, bishops, priests, bible scholars, and even parents, etc) hold a special divine authority as the leaders of god's kingdom here on earth (the church). The communication of authority only goes ONE WAY. Down the hierarchical chain-of-command: Father to Jesus to Holy Sprit to church leaders (or elders) to fathers then mothers. This is the flow of "divine authority." Ultimately, of course, the source of this authority is the bible, which just so happens to give itself its own authority and in turn gives an authority to the chain-of-command.

Now, the deception lies in that since the authority, practically speaking, is carried out by Christian leaders. You cannot question their authority because the bible says so. If you question the bible's authority you are in effect questioning god's authority and the leadership will not tolerate that, because they have the authority from the bible. So the mind is forced to either rebel against the whole system or become obedient. Theoretically obedient to the bible and practically obedient to the church authority.

Christianity is a mind control Cult and Jesus is its Cult leader. But because jesus isn't here we must worship him in the spirit with faith. Its sub-leaders, the pastors, elders, and teachers, - "God's Anointed Servants", practically speaking, are "under-shepherds" and point everyone to the invisible Jesus through faith. Thus the mind control is so much more difficult to see because the focus is not on any physical man, but on god and Jesus. Thus no matter how insane or abusive the "under-shepherds" or sub-leaders are the Cult program continues. See, if a physical cult leader started doing insane and abusive things it is much easier for the mind to wake up and say "wait a minute" and start questioning things. But because invisible Jesus is the Cult leader the system can continue forever because he is perfect and holy and just and all loving savior that does no wrong. Of course! You in effect have a Cult, just like any other more noticeable cults like Sun Myung Moon, but without the danger of it falling in on itself by the actions of a physical person. Because Jesus was perfect (as the "authoritative" bible says) and the Cult is focus is on him, the real programming and control goes unchallenged and unimpeded.

This is just a little food for thought.

wow. what a joke. maybe you should get some real evidence and try again. even from someone who is not a Christian, this is totally ridiculous. nonsense.

This is how cults work. Great video, except they overlooked one of the most powerful weapons of cults and religions - sexual suppression.

It would be interesting to do a comparitive study of the biblical Jesus vs. known cult leaders. I know this video was focusing on churches and such, but I wonder how cultleader-like Jesus and Paul could be seen if compared to others.(i know that's worded poorly, but i'm tired, lol)

I thought this video was creepy, which is a good thing b/c cults ARE creepy and people need to realize that. My only complaint is the music! Ahh! lol.. :p

But thanks John!

Yeah, the video is pretty cheesy and it doesn't touch on a lot of important points with regards to christianity, but it does hit home.

Understand, anonymous, this was by no means an exhaustive or even deep treatment of the issues, but it still is a welcome tonic and can be a wake-up call for some. No one can doubt, christian or not, that this video does have several points that very true to christianity and its system of indoctrination.

Dude, sweet, i'm so gonna start me a cult, cheers for the heads up on how!
Well as my ol' momma used to say "people who believe shit deserve shit."

As I do agree with you as saying that Christianity does harbor some cult techniques this is very true. But when compared in severity to cults, though there have been Christian nut jobs that are willing to kill for "the lord" these often are few. But all forms of religion have some form of mind control, mainly fear of hell and guilt for certain actions.

Though I’m sure we all hate the flawed logic of Christians. I'll have to say after watching that video that Islam is more of cult than Christianity will ever be, and as now one of the world most fastest growing religions its becoming evident that there is a much larger threat then Christianity out there.

Christians are mainly stupid, Muslim are dangerous, with the belief in dying for their Allah and their fundamentalists willing to blow up a cafe in his name. I'll have to say I'd rather a stupid Christian to a Dangerous Muslim. If anything Christianity can wait and we should be pulling apart the Koran and refuting it page by page people need to see the evil inner workings of what I see as a cult in order to prevent people from ever wishing to join it.

Only things Christians do that really piss me off is their beliefs towards gays and how they want their shit at our public schools, its not like we have scientists at their churches, they really should STFU once and a while.

Teddy: if ive learned anything from christianity it is watch both religions, Islam and Christianity are both serious threats to freedom. christianity can be deadly if you refuse to acknowledge its potential for disaster, lest not forget the history of christianity and the things that they did to millions, shall we?

Heh, i'm going to have to go with muttmutt, I think in terms of body count christianity still beats islam.
Figure it this way;
Muslim fundamentalist blows himself up, kills say, 100 people.
Christian protesters ban genetic and stem cell research, doom thousands to death or brutally painful and mercifully short lives.

One is a little more active and attention grabbing but the other ultimately kills far, far more.

Complete nonsense! Islam has about the same body count... they, like the Christians, were killing people wholesale well before the 20th Century... They wiped out the Buddhists in India for one, and that was a large population. Thanks to the Moguls of India, we only have a version of Buddhism that came back from Tibet in the sub-continent, and the Pali (Ceylonese)version. Islam likes to pretend it's darkest age is now, but really, it was always pretty dark...

It doesn't take a degree in social science to spot the similarities between so called cults and the born again Christian movement. Or for that matter, Islam.

pretty good, but could seriously use an updating to be taken seriously.

i'd add more obvious references to christianity and islam too.

Yes I totally agree. Yet it is an interesting video with some good points.

Yes sarabhi, I agree that the music was annoying. It has a hypnotic effect, which "I think" the makers of the video intentionally were indirectly driving a point across that the mind can be subdued, and wanted the viewers to figure it out on their own.

Welcome to exchristian, and enjoy your life by thinking for yourself.

imaginaryskydaddy,

Yeah, I see what you mean about the directors intentionally making the music hypnotic. Makes sense. Thanks for the welcome! ^^

Hi,
I am sorry to tell you, but no one of you have enough knowledge about Islam. God forbid to the muslims to kill inocent people and this you can read in Quran. This what's happened today is actualy product not of Islam and the muslims and product of the manipulating politic of America and Europe countries who pay to a lot of ignorant muslims to blow themselves, only with one perpose- to show Islam with demonic and bad face, because they are afraid from the growing quantity of the new converted muslims! Ya, the true is painfull! But even I am muslim, I don't think the christianity is this what is shown on the video. This that some preasts use some tactics which are nothing to do with the christian realigion, dosen't mean that we have to blame christianity for this. The same is for the Islam. We can not judge nor Islam, nor Christianity only because of the deeds of some people who pretend to be muslims or christians. Beter everyone before to give some opinion first to read the Bible and Quran and after that to speak!
God to guide you on the right way, but who is the right way in the end this is your decision!
