D'oh! I'm astounded that I'd not seen the Matrix connection. Maybe it was in my thinking unconsciously, maybe not.
I actually started this with thoughts about Christianity's rather clever carrot-and-stick system of using promises of reward and punishment for coercion. I was thinking of what a double-whammy the promise of paradise and the threat of eternal suffering impose on the minds of children and adults. Simply losing belief in either one still leaves a Christian with a remaining motivation to drink the Jesus Juice. Both idiotic concepts need to be rejected at the same time.
This brings back memories of the time, when I was about 10 to 12 or so, and I was cautiously trying "experiments" to confirm or contradict my growing disbelief in a god. (I'd become a God agnostic soon after becoming a Santa Claus atheist.) Stepping outside, I tried a series of increasingly blasphemous prayers, half-expecting a literal thunderbolt.
I now suspect that if weather conditions had been weird then, and lightning had struck nearby, I might today be a pious theist. But the sky remained blue, and I grew increasingly confident that there was no God, no Heaven, no Hell. It took some time, but I lost all those beliefs together. |
