On my drive home from a Corporate Run, an event that helps The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I turned on the local Christian Radio station. Yes, yes, I know, you ask yourself, “Why would Leandro ever listen to Christian Radio?”

As odd as they may or may not seem, I occasionally turn it on to listen to what they are saying. I have a healthy curiosity as know what hundreds of thousands of people all over the country turn on themselves.

I like to refresh my opinion of that sector of the world. I have to admit, it is an incredible phenomenon. An immense gathering of what can be easily shown to be primarily unproven.

What I find most interesting is that all the talking, mostly story telling based on Biblical stories are (1) all based on one book which is considered and re-enforced but never proven as all knowing evidence (2) Not cross-referenced in any way to what we now know through the scientific method (3) twisted to fit specific human hardships that most people will identify with…in other words, Brainwashing.

I enjoy listening, to see how and what can be said to brainwash someone that is in most cases emotionally weak. I say this as a well known fact that a large majority of the people who find God are in some sort despair.

If you reading this are a theist you will probably identify with one of these examples on situations that weaken a person which dramatically facilitates their finding of god: illness, disease, heartbreak, death of a friend or family member, poverty, war, jail, depression, hopelessness; anything that requires courage to get through.
