Level 6

Its mostly always due to indoctrination i think

why don't people use critical thinking when they gow up?

the story book falls apart in the first chapter, its outrageous that anybody could believe (or even fake it)

Or do the two flow together hand in hand, like water and pressure down a pipe.

Level 7

If you were raised with a belief in the supernatural, I expect that you would fear because of belief. If you came by your belief as an adult, I expect that you believe because of fear.

ya and the ego is hard to manage

people are weak
