Brain washing

Your parents are, and always have been, devout in their practise of religion “B”. This is allied to church “B”. After your birth, and while still in nappies, you are baptised in church “B”. You attend kindergarten, run by church “B”. Prep school, which you attend, is also run by church “B.”
Primary and secondary schools you attend are obviously church “B” institutions. Around 14 years, and still a child, church “B” sanctions your confirmation into the said religious fraternity.
During school, religion “B” is exclusively taught, and you frequent church “B” on a regular basis as class education. It’s subtle that’s why; if you identify with the above, you will deny that it’s not the reason you belong to, or practise religion “B”.
Of course not! You considered all the alternatives, and realised religion “B” was the true faith. Your judgment alone, really! Ever heard that other true story about “flying pigs?”I haven’t seen one yet, but maybe.
