There are many leaders in the world today that use this very method to manipulate our thoughts and actions. Watch this video:

We are gullible and easy to cheat. We need to learn to think for ourselves and question the authority figures that control our lives. Socrates said once: 'An unexamined life is not worth living'. This is self-evident since you are not really living your own life as long as you are being manipulated.
There is one thing that should characterize Christianity: the capacity of believers to think and analyze for themselves the different statements and affirmations that are being proclaimed. Jesus never said: 'Follow me, but leave your brain at home'.
