"Critical thinking" has long been a buzzword among Christians that means "Mindless obedience to religious dogma and never disagreeing with someone who has more status than you."

So more like, "ability to think is in critical condition."

If you used your critical thinking, you would obviously agree with church leadership. Ergo, thoughtless obedience = critical thinking

And anything else outside of that is considered brainwashing.

Was a buzzword when I went to college. Every professor in my school had to include it in the syllabus and describe and speak about it. I went to school for the brain vs. the soul so I got the boring "consider source, always be skeptical, think from both sides" bullshit version. What's this new version and where can I sign up?
