Brainwashed?
I wouldnt go so far to say he's brainwashed. The christian church is no cult. They dont force anyone to do anything. At least any true church doesnt. If he feels that way then thats his choice.
Anyone who knows me well would probably consider me "very religous" but it was through my own choices that i follow church docterine and rules. The same probably goes for your friend
Then again i dont know him but from the knowledge i have, i'd say brainwashed is a pretty harsh term.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

Brainwashed is pretty harsh. I've been catholic my entire life, and my family are strict catholics too, but i have insight into what i hear, and i know the rest of my family does to. We all just dont absorb whats going on. Unless your friend is in a religious cult? or perhaps he's a jehovah's witness, i live near alot of them and they say god makes them do things alot.

Fine with whatever you think... I am religious as well (I'm Jewish), but I do not believe that people should think that God made them to spend the rest of their lives feeling lonely and ashamed.

My friend IS Catholic. And maybe brainwashed isn't the term to use... but the big deal wasn't the terms that I stated that with, really guys. So don't go overboard on the fact that I used the term "brainwashed" that wasn't the BIG PART to what I said.

we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.
