I just finished reading a thread about Evangelical war on evolution. People stated that the children in the video were brainwashed to belive something and that it is horrible to teach children that way. If you have seen page 8 of the "who will be the next president of the US" thread; then you would know what I think about religion. Also you would know that I am not a Protestant Evangelical Christian but a devout Roman Catholic and a firm believer of the words of Saint Josemaria Escriva the founder of Opus Dei. I am not silent about my beliefs and ties to Opus Dei so I am no stranger to being ridiculed for my beliefs. Why is it that when a science teacher tells a class full of students that they came from apes and that their life has no significance and just a cycle of life they get a pat on the back. But when a child goes to church or a retreat where someone tells them that they are not just a sack of cells. That they are loved by someone higher than them, that they don't have to worry about death because if they believe they will go to a place without crime and death and war; they are thought of as horrible brainwashing people. Who are destroying the world. Above my desk I have a picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Whenever I see this picture all troubles seem to fade away because I belive that they are only temporary. My brothers in Opus Dei have been criticized for years. Why? Because they teach children to believe that no matter what happens everything will be allright in the end, that they should go to Mass as often as they can. That they should pray the Rosary evryday because the Rosary is the most powerfull weapon at your disposal. If you are not Christian than you do not know what I mean by saying that all seems right with the world when you pray the Rosary. Any body in a different religion knows what I mean about how you feel during prayer. Other theistic religions are criticiszed to. Just because they teach people to look forward to something.
