I called a friend who is a believer...

@robvalue: I think that's very true of people who come to believe later in life.  They aren't going to analyze it too closely.  People like me who were just indoctrinated as babies are going to say stuff like "Because it's the truth!"

There are also the people who were indoctrinated as children, who were xtians their whole life, and who base their entire life and self-worth upon their xtianity, that aren't even going to come close to questioning.  My Mother was raised on a dirt-poor cotton and peanut farm, and her father was an illiterate atheist with a bit of an alcohol problem.  The church, for her, meant that she was better than her father, better than people who had money, etc.  For her, the world has always been divided into good Bible-believing xtians and evil demon-possessed god-hating non-believers.  
     My brother and I agree: the woman CANNOT question her beliefs.  Not only is she terrified of hell, she's not capable of considering the idea that god might not exist.  I think her brain would literally explode.  For her, there is "god's truth" and anything that disagrees with that are satanic lies.
