"Faith comes by hearing"
April 28, 2015 at 8:50 am (This post was last modified: April 28, 2015 at 8:50 am by Spooky.)
A statement I heard quite a bit all those summers at church camp. I now think they are simply describing "groupthink":




Going to school for Psychology has given me an odd view of religion. I wonder if the general clergy tends to realize how effective they are at using principles such as: conditioning, groupthink, etc.

Religion would be a beautiful application of Psychology if the result wasn't so terrifying.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
