1.0 Introduction
.
As we all know a child knows nothing about the world. Yet, they are innocent. But somehow something is innate to us, our curiosity for information. As a little child trying to make sense out of this world, there is a main influence. This influence came from parents.
.
Parents influence their child as a matter of survival. This parent to child relationship is driven in fact by trust. The child must be educated about the world, the dangers about the world and how to survive. And these information will be necessary for child's survival, like how to recognize danger, how to eat, etc.
.
This kind of what I call 'information transfer' is somehow the religions unknowingly use to indoctrinate people. The religion used these 'information transfer' to exploit the trust and to indoctrinate the child. The religion hijacks it into thinking that this 'absurd' idea is necessary for survival.
.
This means an absurd information can be passed by for generations upon generations without question at all. This is because of the trust that we've given to this information as a child.
.
And as a child, these belief system we're downloaded into our minds. It is sealed by trust to our parents. THIS IS HOW RELIGION CHEATS THE TEST OF TIME, BY UNKNOWINGLY FALSE TEACHING A CHILD ABOUT A BELIEF THEY MUST BELIEVE IN.
.
We cannot blame our parents in this system, as they also are indoctrinated as a child in the past. We can break free on this system. We can break free of religious indoctrination.

2.0 Why I said that we are religiously indoctrinated?
.
As what I described in 1.0, a child knows nothing. A child is like a sponge capable of absorbing all the information that it is given. When we teach a child how to speak, it imitates to speak. When we teach a child how to hold a spoon properly, it will learn how to hold a spoon.
.
An this where religion enters its maliciousness. As a parent, you can teach your child anything that you want it to believe. If you want to believe your child in Allah, the child will believe in Allah. If you want your child to believe in Jesus, the child will believe in Jesus. If you want your child to believe in Santa Claus, fairies, tikbalangs and duwende, of course they will believe it.
.
You are born, without religion, with out these nonsensical beliefs. But religion cheated. I feel cheated. You feel cheated. As a child, you are absorbing these beliefs as a sponge, not knowing these beliefs are malicious. It is ingrained into our minds and it is difficult to reject because we're believing it since we were a child.
.
I know, you want to search for the truth. BUT IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO EXAMINE YOUR BELIEFS PROPERLY, PROBABLY YOU ARE LIVING IN THE BELIEF FULL OF LIES. Be skeptical, always.
.
The majority of Filipinos we're Christians. They believed in Jesus being real. Now, what if the Spanish Colonizers didn't colonize us, instead it was the Indians?
Well, I'm sure, we're probably all become vegetarian and believe that these cows are our God. Also, we will believe in a Flying Monkey who picks up a mountain from Himalayas and flew it to Sri Lanka. The point is, if the Indians colonized us, we will become a Hindu.
.
This is malicious. You don't believe in a flying monkey, right? Well, the Hindus do.
And yet they think the same. They don't believe that a Jewish Man was crucified in a cross and after three days, he was a walking dead, I mean He is risen. Hindus don't believe this.
.
There is something wrong about religion, and this is it. We always want to search for the absolute truth. In India, 1+1= 2. In Philippines, 1+1 = 2, it is in fact the same. And yet these religions seem to contradict one another. There may be a common ground but these common grounds are too small to have space for the truth.
.
We demand truth, and we want truth. Religion claims that they are the truth. I found this bullshit. NOBODY HAS FOUND THE FULL TRUTH, WE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS. These people who claim that they've found the truth are either delusional, malignant and a liar.

3.0 Resolution
.
One of the ways to break this chain of religious indoctrination is the willingness to search for the truth across many religions. You must not ignore other people who believes in what you think is a bullshit, like a flying monkey or a dead Jew on a stick.
.
We must become skeptical of our own. We must fuel our curiosity. There is more than the Bible, there is more than the Vedas, and there is more than the Q'uran. Ans these beliefs are limiting us from what we can achieve, the real truth.
.
We are indoctrinated since we were a child. It is time to step back, analyze and ask your self.
IS MY BELIEF JUST AN IMAGINATION?
.
And I bet you, you will answer NO offensively. Or YES curiously.
.
Skepticism Matters. Practice it even if it works against yourself, in that way, you will find the bitter harsh truth.

A/N: I want you to share this and post awareness about SKEPTICISM.
The Filipino People need to be Skeptical. Kailangan nating lahat na magisip ng maigi upang tayo ay hindi maloloko ng mga taong malisyoso, sinungaling at delusyunal.
We must promote Skepticism. Share this post to your friends.
Why do you claim this goes only for religion? If children are indoctrinated, it is in everything having to do with values, also political and moral matters. Functionally, there is no difference between religious values and beliefs and political ditto. All of it is about values and believing, and THAT is the important point. To single out religion is not justified, talk about ALL value-based systems then.
