Yes. If being religious DIDN'T require brainwashing then why is so much time spent teaching kids about Jesus? Sunday school, baby bibles, wallpaper (I have a friend...), summer bible school, flannel story things, after school bible studies, kid's bible music, children's sermons.... If one could become a Christian simply because it was the most correct position, all the above wouldn't be needed. April (A formerly brainwashed kid!)
