Heero, that is where reasoning comes into action. When you join these groups, you don't reason out. you just join because everyone does. Bandwagon effect. After you join, then you'll start to realize that what you did wasn't the right thing, then comes reasoning and you started asking questions about their teachings. It happened to me...since college, my religion was "floating", meaning i keep on searching for a religion where i will not ask any question. I can't find one. I "blindly" chose the catholic faith because i grew up with it, lived with it, though i have hundreds of questions about the teaching. then Platao introduced Deism, which is EXACTLY my belief.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
