[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can people who understand basic science also believe that there is a god in heaven protecting them and that they will live there forever after they die here on earth?[/quote] Even mainstream religious practices are powerfully manipulative when it comes to indoctrination. You can be very educated and still have a brain that was conditioned from childhood to believe what religion tells you and not question it, or only question it within allowable bounds. When I deconverted I realized I'd been suffering from doublethink my whole life without being able to realize/acknowledge it. I think a lot of other religious people are the same way. It doesn't mean they're unintelligent. Their brain is literally wired to prevent them from thinking otherwise. People can and do break free, but I think it's unrealistic to *expect* that from the majority of people - especially when society is so biased against unbelievers.[/quote] +1[/quote]
