There is a way you can put the non-existence of you ideological block to the test.
Answer, if you want to, the following question:
Why is it that the American Indians who had no contact with the rest of the humanity for 14,000 years believed about gods what Europeans, Asians and Africans believed, that is, that the gods fashioned and exterminated one generation of humans after the other, that the gods created humans to serve as their slaves and provide them with food, that the gods mated with human women and that the gods used messengers in order to communicate with other gods and with humans.
My opinion is that the weight of the ideological block depends on the audacity of the theory and that there is no human without mental block.
Prove me wrong!
