Believing Vs Claiming to Believe
#7
RE: Believing Vs Claiming to Believe
Based on my observation of the Hispanic Catholic and Pentecostal population of the places I have lived in (they are many), I'd say many people believe what they were taught without bothering to do the research or find a reason other than tradition, because it's just more comfortable that way and they are lazy. Also, many of them have been indoctrinated since a very early age in catechism. If information has been brainwashed into them, it's pretty hard to get rid of it. They don't understand why they believe, they were just educated in a way that made belief a given. It was never a matter of "let's discuss why we believe in the god" but rather "God is this and God is that, you should do this for him, and stay away from this for him". Believing was never in question. Why? meh. They don't know. It's just a given.
Pointing around: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out!"
