Facing Dogmatic Imposition

Facing imposed religious doctrines and dogmas is a very difficult, arduous, and sometimes dangerous task. The mere mention of ideas contrary to entrenched beliefs can generate aggression, annoyance, and an emotional clash, especially in fervent or fanatical people. Often, unfounded rejection, offense, insult, and even threats are the first responses to dissonance, which questioning what has been accepted as absolute truth since childhood can cause. This results in a conflict between the belief held since childhood and the imposition and indoctrination experienced since birth. This is because there has never been an opportunity to analyze why one believes it to be true; it has simply been accepted forever, causing conflict or confusion.

The Suppression of Truth

For a long period, truth has been eclipsed by the darkness of ignorance and fanaticism. We are entering a new era in which truth and reality will flourish against the lies forcibly implanted in our conscious and subconscious minds. Therefore, I invite readers to critically examine what they have believed and open themselves to new perspectives.

The Burden of Sin and Manipulation

A classic example, widely believed and accepted without objection by millions of human beings, is the notion that from an early age, we are taught that we are sinners. This is imposed on us without our knowledge or ability to object; similarly, as a baby, without consciousness, we are baptized to supposedly remove the sin with which we are born. Then we are trained to associate our “bad” actions with the idea of being sinners, and taught that we must pay for this fault and cleanse our souls of this sin.

This teaching is constantly repeated at every step—in the temple, school, home, office, media, and books; it is contained in prayers and songs. This training never ceases and is repeated over and over until it is fixed in our consciousness and deepest subconscious. Thus, we are trained and artificially created to believe and passively accept that we are sinners. We are also taught that the only one who can judge us for the “bad” we have done is a Catholic priest—a man like any other man, with the difference, without generalizing, that we do not know if this “special” man has a dark, turbulent, and immoral life; with a soul perhaps more stained than the one he judges. And who judges this judge, manipulator of the world of sin, capable of imposing penalties, absolving, and forgiving? No one questions, to avoid conflict with deeply rooted faith, imposed until it leads to fanaticism, designed to make us beg for mercy in his name and the name of others, creating a state of inferiority, submission, and subjugation, making us feel like sinners, miserable, worthless, and that we should feel great shame for everything we do because we are sinning.
