I read that book, the religious cult, the brainwashing stuff. and it made me think of church. you know, when everyone is singing? and what kb said, about all the times they were shouting the songs together and how it was "so awesome" and I think about that reaction. I have it too. this nice little bubbly feeling you get that's like "I'm part of a group". and it's a happy buzz, I guess that's how people are wired, probably why so many people are religious. and I think for a moment "wouldn't it be nice if I could just turn off my brain and actually be part of them". but. creepy, creepy as fuck, it's brainwashing. the chanting together, the singing, the shouting, the "positive thoughts", separating kids, and the strict rules... it's the same, it's the same. I meant it as a joke, but fuck. there you go.
