Well, I was hoping there was something I was missing, but there isn't.

Religious people thus believe, and teach their children, to accept statements as facts, without any logic or proof behind it.

Now imagine we apply these same rules to any field of research or law.

"Yes, your honor, the man must be guilty because god told me he is". "Well that's good enough for us. Life in prison for you!!".

A new generation is being raised that can,selectively, disregard the absence of proof or logic, and still accept something as FACT and TRUE, despite such lack.

Scary.
