They just blindly accept @longgone. Mostly out of fear, I think. Fear of “hell,” or fear of rejection by their society.
I once mentioned my misgivings to someone at my church. They looked at me in horror, like I’d grown two heads or something. Never brought it up again.
My preacher flinched everytime I raised my hand to ask a question because he knew it would be a question there was no answer to except “God works in mysterious ways.” I really wanted there to be answers, though. I finally quit asking because I felt sorry for him.
@MrGrimm888 they are also religion’s most powerful forces. If you can convince people to ignore their common sense and what they know to be real, you can get them to do anything.
