Ok I admit it

[Esquilax]

I often have trouble evaluating things for myself, and when I see that so many believe, it feels like there has to be something that makes them believe that we can't see, how can it just be because they were told so as a child?

Oh, but generally speaking, if you think about it, it isn't as simple as just "they were told as a child."

This is a thing they've never been told even might be wrong. This is a thing, as you yourself so aptly demonstrate, that they are essentially threatened into believing with physical harm far beyond anything we could possibly imagine. This is a thing that they go to church every week for their whole lives, in some cases, specifically to have this belief reinforced.

Surely you can see the extent to which the practices of your religion enforce and encourage belief in it without ever investigating or paying attention to things that contradict it?
