There is doctrine they teach lay people regarding “the helmet of salvation” Ephesians 6:17 http://www.wordlibrary.co.uk/article.php?id=102 according to the article mentioned above “The hope of salvation is for the head. It covers our minds, intellect or reasoning. "
As it was explained to me it’s purpose was to block out sound and keep you focused. Don’t let the Evil one (in this case the Atheists) deceive you; put on your helmet. In other words the concept of ignoring anything that may cause them to question things is in their doctrine.
BTW they start teaching this particular doctrine at a young age. It usually involves attaching the concepts to something concrete. Children make little suits of armor and walk around in them. Anyone want to puke yet?
I couldn't find a puke smiley face thingy so I'll use this one
They actually parade around in physical representations of the concious desicion to be ignorant!
Wow
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
