Does bending the rules of credulity and evidence to permit one huge set of beliefs make you more likely to do the same thing in other cases?

The answer, according to my observations, is yes. I've seen many clear examples here on this board, even on subjects not related to religion. I think studies about this have been done on children and have come to this conclusion; I'm not sure if any have been done on adults.

I would think so. Like you said earlier in the thread they've already got one foot across the divide. When someone bends their worldview to fit their desired narrative it should be easy to do it in other areas.
