Why do people believe religious texts?

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

My experience with most religious people has been consistent with your statistic. I asked almost every one of my class mates in high school why they believed in their religion and they mostly responded that they believed because that's what they were raised to believe, it's what their parents believe in, and tradition. I can't remember how many questioned 'well, how did everything come into existence if there wasn't a creator?'
