If somebody bases his life on fiction, that fiction character (like Jesus perhaps) becomes more then fiction at least to that person. So the story doesn't become just fiction, it becomes a driving force of perspective. When a fiction character is not seen as a fantasy, but, a possibility, as true, it has even more significance, because a person relates a fictional reality to the real world and he bases his perception on it. Abraham and Moses perhaps never existed, but the impact it has today can be seen in Palestine/Israel.
Still, the notion and idea of what consists of the value and essence of Moses, changed through out history. No one perceives Abraham in the same way. We all have projection image, and a lot of it is random.
When we judge randomly, we often, quickly judge a person on first impression and make too much conclusions. We may even think we know a lot about them just from their clothes or looks.
When we were kids, we think of a murderer, and we have perception, but perhaps for a person who deals with minds of criminals, sees their path, see what lead them to crime, see what made them lose empath or moral obligation, he has a more realistic perspective.
Most humans are happy with just imagining what they want to see in a person and thinking they know enough about them.
What you're saying sounds a lot like
Quote:If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.
Attributed to Goebbels in Publications Relating to Various Aspects of Communism (1946), by United States Congress, House Committee on Un-American Activities, Issues 1-15, p.19, no reliable source has been located, and this is probably simply a further variation of the Big Lie idea
