Legal Brainswashing

     I used to go to a private school when I was younger, from kindergarten to second grade and it was called Christian Liberty Academy, so obviously it focused on religious teachings. Since the first day of school we were forced to learn the ways of Christianity and attend chapel every single day and honestly it wasn't so bad. We sang along to some songs, some of the things they talked about they did in a really interesting way, and you would gather up with all your friends and not be trying to stuff 2 pounds of food down before twenty minutes.
     But every day to start it off we would always pray and they would go over the "rules" of god. Looking back at that now, its just incredibly horrifying. Not because they would force a religion on us. Not because they took apart a half of the day which would have been dedicated to learning to this, but because of a much scarier truth. As kids we were told that there was someone watching us every second of every day, watching everything we do, making sure we do everything how they like it, and punishing anyone and everyone who doesn't follow it.
     At a time where we were assured that there is no such thing as ghosts trying to kill you lurking in every dark corner, no monster is hiding underneath your bed, there isn't a demon in the closet we were told of this, something much worse, something that confirms all of the fears we had, and says that it is right, says that its good. The worse enemy is the accepted one, and through this we were exploited of our innocence and forced to follow this.
     Daunting a little kid into acting the way you want by convincing them there is a supernatural being dictating your life is just devious. Yes if there is wine in a certain cabinet then you could tell you kid that a poltergeist lives there but to tell them how to behave to avoid eternal damnation and enter eternal bliss is not perfectly alright. What if they are born in a way that god won't like? Then they'll reject that part of themselves, they'll hate themselves.
     They will embed this fear in them, that will dictate their life, and change them to worsen beings. It is funny how the military bans this practice but we use it every day: brainwashing. Isn't that what this is, to imbue little kids?
