The Bible is Brainwash

My opponent states thus:'In the beginning of the debate I never specified whether the Bible had to brainwash directly or indirectly.' This is inherently untrue, as when he made the debate he called it: 'The Bible is Brainwash.' This is obviously incredibly broken English, but the clearest meaning that we can get out of this is that the bible is 'literally' brainwash. This would require the bible to be directly responsible for brainwashing people when, as my opponent has pointed out several times, the bible cannot be directly responsible for brainwashing people as it is unable to force anybody to read it.My opponent is wrong to state that I have dropped his arguments as I have not dropped them, I have simply announced that all of them are irrelevant due to the fact that none of them explain how the bible can be directly responsible for 'brainwashing' somebody. As I have subsequently proved, the bible does have to be directly responsible for brainwashing as it is unable to 'forcibly' make anybody read it. If you read something, it is your choice, the book cannot force you to read it.My opponent asserts this:'So you say that in order for the Bible to brainwash, it has to force people to read it. But the definition of ‘brainwash’ is “adopting radically different beliefs” so therefore for the Bible to brainwash, it has to force people to adopt different beliefs, not read force people to read the Bible, therefore obviously defeats this argument.'Here, my opponent attempts to completely cut off the end of a definition that we've been using since the start of this debate. The definition in full is thus: 'To pressurize (someone) into adopting radically different beliefs by using systematic and often forcible means.' Just the fact that he cut off the end of the definition in order to attempt to deceive the reader into forgetting that the bible would have to use 'forcible means' to acheive it's supposed aim of getting somebody to adopt 'radically different' beliefs is suspect. This argument does not defeat my argument as, in the case of the bible, to get somebody to adopt radically different beliefs would require it to also use forcible means to get people to read it. It cannot do this, as I have stated many times and my opponent has conceded totally.My opponent has spent this entire debate attempting to argue that Christians attempt to use the bible to brainwash others. However, the title of this debate does not allude to that being the subject of debate at all. The title of this debate is centered around whether or not the bible is literally brainwash. As it cannot fulfill part of the definition of brainwashing, that is to forcibly make people read it (which would be a requirement of its changing anybody's beliefs), it cannot be said to be brainwash. My opponent has proved that there are certain passages in the bible which incite violence towards people who don't believe, however this is not brainwashing as it is not forcing these beliefs upon anybody as it is unable to force anybody to 'listen' to it, as it were. Therefore, despite my opponent sourcing the bible multiple times, that does not matter as it's irrelevant to the debate at hand. My opponent's statement that the fact that I haven't used sources to show why he is arguing the wrong topic in this debate makes everything I've said invalid is laughable at best. My opponent has not produced any relevant facts that I've been able to use sources to refute. The only way I was able to get any sources into this debate was through the definition [1] of brainwash which I realise now I forgot to source, so I have sourced it here.My opponent's entire argument was irrelevant from start to finish as he was arguing a completely different topic to that which the debate is actually about. That is, whilst the debate is about whether the bible is literally forcing its views upon people (which requires it to force people to read it) my opponent has been arguing that Christians attempt to force their views upon people by forcing them to read the bible, which would be invalid even if it was the debate topic as Christians, by and large, do not force people to read the bible. If you do not wish to read something, then you do not have to. Thank you.
