Brainwashing of our youth

"Do not force others, including children, by any means whatsoever, to adopt your views, whether by authority, threat, money, propaganda, or even education. However, through compassionate dialogue, help others renounce fanaticism and narrow-mindedness". This statement is a fundamental tenet of Buddhist philosophy and it would appear to be axiomatic. I can not imagine a more poignant statement. Such an indictment against our christian society and the prevailing attitudes that currently consume our country. The overt brainwashing needed to compel the next generation of christian soldiers, is a never ending process akin to the scouring of mountains by the forces of erosion and wind. Without this constant barrage the notions of heaven, hell, sin and salvation would be only so much detritus in the never ending onslaught of a commercialized society,
