Religion And Programming

It's the perfect combination. A belief in God (in this context i am referring to the Christian God, only because that is what i am familiar with) and the need to do his will fits so well with programming a child. This carries on into adulthood especially if the child's parents reinforce these Christian beliefs. It is easy to hide a program within the guise of it being God's will. Once the belief and faith in God is set, and the belief in the need to do his will is set as a foundation, it is easy for the programmer to use terminology that makes the person feel they are being unfaithful to God if they don't follow through. Therefore again having more power for many years to come. It doesn't help that the bible contains so many verses that can again be used to reinforce what the programmer wants. As an adult, walking away from the programs and abuse of the past, it is very hard to separate what is truly God's will and what is a program. I think many people go through a time of religious searching or curiosity at some stage in their lives, whether they were raised in a religious context or not. How more difficult for someone within this programmed belief of God, to feel free to explore and find the truth of what works for them. Are my thoughts and beliefs in God my own, or merely those planted many years ago by a manipulative force for their own benefit. I know God and Christianity were used within my programming, and i have seen it in many others who have been programmed. I am not sure however, how to break free from the program and believe for myself.
