Why would an all-knowing being use other beings as entertainment and demand worship, but damn the people to torment when the other beings think and act for themselves?
So you read the part where Jesus was publicly executed for challenging dogmatic religious authority that was based around social control, and he was the protagonist for fighting against that, and your takeaway was that he was trying to brainwash people?
Yes. Replacing one system of control with another is not freedom.
Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
By fulfilling the law he destroys it, but the law and prophets are still in place because the law is removed after heaven and earth pass.
Basically, follow me, but follow the law.
This is one contradiction that makes people confused and follow blindly without thinking for themselves.

Do you have debt? if so can you quit your job and be fine?
Are you afraid to stand up for yourself in your job or too afraid of getting in trouble?
If that is true you're a slave to debt and the debtors are your masters.
You are the one in the matrix mind controlled.
As far as the Christianity part, you are partially correct. A lot of influence in Christian Culture directly relates to the established world but you have to dig deeper then just Christianity if we are talking about mind control.
They are for it because the law (torah) is still in play.

Exactly.

Mind and body, without religion people would still he in tribes, with the bible now they are easily herded
Agreed.
My point is:
Humans do not need a dogma telling them what to do.
The whole thing.

Good points, but you know that is not the meaning of the passage.
