Christianism and Islam both instill learned helplessness on their victims. 

- You are innately evil and corrupt. That's why...

- You deserve "hell" and ...

- You will spent "eternity" in hell unless...

- You believe the above is true and ...

- You follow the rituals and behavior guidelines set forth in documents that are only properly interpreted by the very people who have defined the human condition.

Our god loves you unconditionally and is willing to torture you with great enthusiasm.
