Using scripture as proof.
#17
RE: Using scripture as proof.
I think it depends on the orthodoxy/fundamentalism in which an individual was brought up.  -- And some depends upon the individual.
My brother was told from birth, as was I, that GOD wrote the Bible and it is perfect.  We were told that that the Bible holds the answers
to literally EVERYTHING.  But he was more aggressive in his questioning that I was.  He would point out contradictions, get slapped around
for his disrespectful evil thinking, and was told in no uncertain terms that there are things in the Bible that we simply can't understand, and
that God will explain it all when we get to heaven.  So I didn't start actively questioning it until after I left home.

A person who has been taught that this book is the one and only book god gave humanity from early infancy thinks that it is the only authority
on the planet.  They are genuinely confused when the response to a quoted verse isn't "Well, then, that settles it.  Thank you."  They have
not only been brainwashed from birth, but many have been punished for questioning.
