Dwayne Waden, whose Facebook profile identifies him as pastor of Elevated Life International Ministries and a semitruck driver, was arrested after the incident at a High Point, North Carolina, McDonald's.
Again, I’m curious. Personally, I have not found my loyalty as a Christian to be forced, it’s of my own will. How can I ever prove (to myself or others) that it’s of my own free will, and not being brainwashed? This applies to anything: religion, politics, sports, school affiliation, nationality.
This doesn’t answer the question though - how can anyone know or decide for others that they are not brainwashed? I trust you’ve come to your own conclusion, as I’ve come to my own. It’s a poor excuse to call anything contrary to what I believe as being brainwashed unilaterally.
No point in debating with you about your being brain washed. You are and you’re the only person that can come to self realize in order to break away from the insanity of religion.
I’m sorry we can’t find at least some common ground on this - clearly we both feel strongly about our positions, and I respect that. Thanks for taking the time to discuss anyway.
Any group that bends your mind into believing falsehoods and expects your loyalty is a Cult. No matter the religion, political party, etc.

You are brain washed. Just not willing to admit it.

But you just made that determination for me? I’m confused, am I supposed to make my own decisions, or listen to others?
Religious people are brainwashed. That is a fact. No matter what I write back to you, you’ll never agree. You need to wake up to reality on your own.

I’m sorry you’re brainwashed. It’s not your fault. Good luck escaping the false fantasy of religion.
So you have free will according to your belief system? You sure about that?
Then I guess God isn’t all-knowing right? Because if he knew what you were going to do before you did it, then it wouldn’t be “free will,” would it?
