"If we are brainwashed at a young age does it stunt our ability to think creatively?"

Religious instruction for children is child abuse. Once you've intimidated them into believing in, say, the virgin birth, or Adam and Eve, or the holy trinity, you can get them to believe anything.

I don't think all the brainwashing I got stunted my growth intellectually. What it made me realize was that what people said was only in the power group's unelightened self-interest, and the way to get alng with the bastards was to agree with them in order show them how brilliant they thought they were -and- then they allowed you to solve their problems such that the solutions suited more logical ends.
