Reply #2: I believe that the greatest underlying problem with the religious [View All]

[ladjf]

mindset is that religious people have been trained from childhood to not question certain "approved" sources, i.e. preachers, parents, and the bible. But, on the other hand, to never believe in sources
that are on the "approved" list.

That allows them to be mis-led by certain people without the usual healthy skepticism.

Further, since they are trained to believe that "faith" is adequate proof of verity, the objective scientific methods of proof are not required. In other words, their major life beliefs are fabricated rather than learned through objective thinking. This is a recipe for failure and in our case, their faulty belief system has spilled over into politics and is threatening the inhabitants of the world in profound ways.
