To summarise the essay, if a victim of religious hypnosis can be made to accept even "one" irrational belief (such as the Xenu, YHVH or Jesus
fictions)," then it is a "slippery slope to accepting "any" irrational belief, and as the "Milgram Experiment" and the "Joshua" experiment show, we
human beings are succeptible to being submissive to "authority."
Religious Archons "are" a very dangerous form of authority; submission to religious Archons can often have murderous and genocidal consequences.
Unfortunately the victim of religious mind control can be made to carry out the most evil forms of behaviour, while thinking that they are doing
"good" and are saving the world; just as it was for the children of the Hitler youth, religious fanatics are often so hypnotised, indoctrinated and
submissive to authority that they actually think that they are "saints."
Unfortunately the two largest religions in the world (Christianity and Islam) are both militant, apocalyptic and their adherents have control over
nations, armies and nuclear weapons.

Contradictory Beliefs and Religous Psychosis. Philosophy and Religion.
A: Religion.
Let us say, hypothetically that you were a policeman (just for the sake of argument), and that you interviewed a suspect and asked him "Where were you
when this murder took place?" The suspect may state "I was in Tokyo." However in the notes from a previous interview he may have stated that he was in
New York. This is clearly contradictory; he could not have been in both places at the same time.
The victim of religious hypnosis can hold numerous contradictory beliefs, such as that there are three gods but only one god, or that their god is
"love," and that their god is also a genocidal tribalist who wants to kill all other tribes who are not part of his favorite tribe, the Israelites, or
that you should love your parents, but also that you cannot be a Christian unless you hate your parents (and your wife, children and even your own
life), etc. Chistians might also utilise reason to ridicule people who believe in the incredulous myths of Ganesha (the Hindu elephant god), but they
will abandon such rational thinking when it comes to their own faith.
If you look at almost any of the primitive religions of the world and their silly myths, they can be turned into a comedy and ridiculed by we
modernists of the age of reason and science; however when a person has been subjected to a lifetime of religious hypnosis and indoctrination, they
suspend such rational and critical thinking. This problem is compounded in societies where the "majority" of the population are affected by religious
hypnosis and indoctrination; thus the person suffering from religious psychosis is perceived as normal and the person critical of religion is perceved
as abnormal, a heretic, a blasphemer or a Satanist.
B: Philosophy.
Understanding philosophical method seems to me to be essential in combatting religious hypnosis and indoctrination.
If a philosopher attempts to hold two contradictory positions, then this is usually pointed out to them by other philosophers as being ridiculous. The
difference between the philosopher and the religious fanatic is that the philosopher can appeal only to the highest authority of human intuition and
"pure reason." Philosophy essentially teaches us how to "think" for ourselves and how to construct arguments. There is simply no room for philosophy
in the world's major religons, since the victims of these religions must simply abandon reason and rely on the ramblings of primitive religious
fanatics.
Fallacies (false arguments).
One really has to search the scriptures for verifiable historical "facts," and they are very rare.
Generally when non religious historians or scientists come across some fact which seems to verify some Biblical claim, the Biblical fanatics jump on
this and use it to present the argument that the Bible must be true.
No scientist that I know of disputes the fact that there was global flooding at the end of the last ice age, so the Biblical fanatics jump on this and
conclude "The Bible must be True," and so therefore Jesus really did # his mother, and Noah really did put millions of animal and insect species in
his little wooden boat, and so on, and so on. This kind of insanity is unfortunately infectious and it has often been instilled since childhood.
If you can make someone believe something ridiculous which demands that they can suspend critical thinking, then it is a "slippery slope" to the point
where they can suspend critical thinking about almost anything or anyone.
The Psychology of a Slave. Submission to the Archons (authority figures).
A: The Milgram Experiment.
Unfortunately the conclusions of what is probably the most famous (and important) psychological study on human "obedience," the Yale University
"Milgram Experiment (See:
en.wikipedia.org...)" provide conclusive evidence that most human beings are willing to torture
other human beings, if they are told by an authority figure to do so, and unfortunately the authors of the Bible are also considered the "highest"
authority by Biblical fanatics. In the Milgram experiment the subjects were asked to apply electric shocks to actors who would pretend to cry out in
pain; although nobody was really harmed, the subjects did not know that the persons whom they were torturing with electric shocks were actors.
Philosophy is a form of intellectual Anarchism (resistance to authority) which teaches us never to suspend critical thinking. Religion is simply a
form of hypnosis and indoctrination which produces a servile, submissive slave; it is the perfect means of social control and the consequences can be
genocidal.
The testimonials of children raised in the Hitler youth for example indicate that they did not fight for Hitler because they thought that he was evil,
but rather because they thought that he was good; similarly with many of the fanatics of religion whose deities would be considered barbaric and
criminally insane by most modern philosophers.
There is a very fine line between accepting what is irrational and inhumane in a text by a religious authority, such as, "It is God's Will to kill all
devotees of other gods" and "torture this person."
B: The Joshua Experiment. The Dangers of Religious Indoctrination.
This experiment by an Israeli psychologist is explained in Richard Dawkin's "God Delusion;" it is a very similar experiment to the Milgram Experiment,
but it deals ony with "religion," and it is less well known than the Milgram Experiment, but the conclusion is essentially the same, though it applies
to "religious authority."
A class room of students in Israel were told the story of Joshua's Biblical holocaust of the Canaanite Tribes. It was essentially a "tribalistic"
genocide. The students were then asked if they considered this to be morally justifiable. Most of the students agreed that it was morally
justifiable.
The same story was then told about a different occasion of tribalistic genocide which did not involve the Bible or the ancient tribal deity of the
Israelites. There are many examples of this in history, such as the recent Rwandan genocide of 1994 which was, just like Joshua's genocide a
"tribalistic" genocide. When the students were asked if they considered such a genocide to be morally justifiable, the majority of them expressed the
view that it was not.
These experiments show the dangers of religious indoctrination, where people who think themselves to be "good, godly, righteous, moral" are willing to
torture people or to support tribalistic genocide just because some Archon (authority figure) tells them that it is OK, and an Archon can be some dead
religious fanatic from 1000's of years ago whom most modernists would probably consider to be as ridiculous as the "Life of Brian" prophets, were they
not blinded by religious indoctrination. The effects of submission to religious authorities and to the authority of the state are very subtle;
probably most of those Israeli students would not consider themselves to be religious fanatics, nor would most of the subjects of the Milgram
experiment consider themselves to be psychopaths.
Linguistics 101
Language is a lie. Words are weapons and the tools of mass hypnosis. War is always fought in the name of peace; the peace that follows victory and the
defeat of one's enemies. Every war the Americans have fought, every genocide, every military coup seems always to have been justified by the mantra of
"peace and freedom."
Peace and Freedom are always defined differently by the slaves and the slavemasters; freedom to a slavemaster is the freedom to keep slaves; "peace"
to a slavemaster means that his slaves are not rebelling, and if he whips them and abuses them, he does so to ensure that there is freedom (his
freedom to enslave others) and "peace."
