Brainwashed: Part 2

Dear Brother Sam, 
How do you get brainwashed young adults to open their mind (sic) and step outside the bible box? These kids are my nieces and they have been brainwashed their whole lives . . . If I even mention anything about no gawd, they cop an attitude.
Love,
Brother Frank DelNiro


Dear Brother Frank,
Come to think of it, nobody talked me into becoming an atheist. When I was a Christian there were no atheists in my life setting me an example. Nobody was encouraging me to think critically. To the contrary, most of the people in my life were dead set on my remaining in the deep dark cave of ignorance, fear, superstition, and hatred in which I was imprisoned as a child. As soon as I learned to read, I began trying to sneak out into the daylight of reason. But the very people I trusted to look out for my best interests were determined to keep me in that cave. They sure as hell were not offering me tips on how to escape. Part 3 Tomorrow
Love,
Brother Sam
