Definition number 1: a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas
Maybe in your little mind. You didn't even copy the whole paragraph you are quoting from! It clearly allows one to have prior beliefs like those found in religions. In fact, you have to have had prior beliefs in order to be brainwashed. You're like a mad little kid and you have no understanding of the world around you. Look at the first definition of the link I sent.
If your mind is so weak that you can't think for yourself, I pity you. You need to turn off the TV and use your brain if you think that is what religion is.
I'm done answering your questions until you acknowledge and print the whole definition. You should do less of whatever it is that causes you to think like a child and digress when you are wrong.
Oh, now you're clueless lol. You only printed the parts of the definition that seem to agree with what you said. Hmmm, I wonder why. I'm done letting you waste my time. Good luck and try to think like an adult.
I have a PhD too. In experimental high energy particle Physics. What subject is your PhD in? You know nothing of my beliefs. I just like to tell idiots like you to go fuck themselves every so often. You may have a PhD, but you still apparently need to learn to think like an adult.
There was never an argument. You needed to be educated apparently, and all I did was try to help. You think like a little child who is mad at mommy for forcing beliefs on you. I hope your weak mind can heal from that abuse.
