Choosing to believe
#11
RE: Choosing to believe
Just because a person might believe in an particular belief it doesn't mean that it will always be correct.

People used to believe in all kinds of things, which were true for their particular circumstances and environment. But now we are able to do those very things that were once impossible. We cross oceans in a matter of hours. We eat food from around the world. We can see the person we are talking to on the other side of the world. All of those things would be considered miracles by ancient people.

People have believed in ancient ethnocentric religious fairy tales for thousands of years even though they are not part of those particular ethnic groups. The question is should people in the 21st Century continue to believe in such ethnocentric religious fairy tales, especially since they don't understand them?
