"I thin people like Greg are imprinted at and early age and it like a virus in their system which they can never quite rid. Some with a good education and strong mind can overcome it, but as often as not they cannot. I think what many of us have learned over time is just how firmly the indoctrination sets up in ones brain preventing a person from rejecting it. I never realized how powerful the imprinting is. And that is the danger of any dogma. It cripples the folks intellectually who encounter it. Sad, one has to live their life believing a myth instead of learning of the great mysteries of the universe." I agree with all of that. But I still do not get it. My mind works by accepting or rejecting facts based on reality. Some stupid book tells me that thousands of soldiers wiped out thousands of soldiers without a single life being lost--I know I am reading fiction. That book tells me that rainbows started as a whim,--I know this is fiction. What is the matter with the TROLLS and the Nims??
