and this isn't horrible? is this not what major religions seem to teach? does this not cause people to develop a thought process that's halting? does this not cause the cessation for further understanding? it's robotic.

deeply religious people seem to have a much more limiting thought process. "it's like this BECAUSE someone said so! stop asking questions!" and they agree with that way of thinking. it's very preventative.

"where did this come from?"

"well god created it!"

the end

That kind of thinking stops people from pondering and reaching for knowledge that's beyond the obvious.
