Their most deeply held beliefs?

For instance taking every thing for granted as true in the Bible, but scrutinizing what people tell you in daily life.

Everyone likes feeling comfortable believing what they want to believe and not what’s fact.

Are you?

You're not. You just have different fallacies you cling to

What are your most deeply held beliefs? How did you objectively come to these beliefs?

Is it even possible to be objective about something you already believe deeply?

You're right. Most people are hypocrites.

Many times you'll get called out by "your side" for not being a hypocrite if you simply call a spade a spade. Go to the poli board and comment on some stupid shite Trump did. If you call it stupid, you'll get called a cuck. If you point out that the same people were critical of Obama for the same things, you'll simply get called a cuck again.

Very few people live by principles, they choose rather to live by what's expedient.

I value objectivity because it's rare. And because I'm confident enough that I don't care if you don't like it.

When it comes to what people believe and how they established their beliefs is interesting to me.

You can meet someone who seems like a level headed person. A rational thinker, etc but then you find out that they have some out the box view and it's just like "how the frick does this person buy into this shite?"

I have a cousin, who is my age, we use to do a lot of things together. He and I use to buy LSU season tickets together (we each had a seat by each other), has an ISDS degree, works for some tech company or in tech at some company in lafayette..Just a regular dude who... All of a sudden he becomes a 7 day adventist? I think that's what it's called.

From what I understand their Sunday is on Saturday.. So he just completely stopped going to CFB games, stopped watching CFB, stopped deer hunting, etc. And I just can't wrap my mind around how people just get into shite like that. He is married, with two kids.. His wife isn't in it, it's just him. And it really blows my mind when people just gravitate to these things.

For the same reason people buy into conspiracy theories: it, paradoxically, makes them feel more in control.

Whether it’s god, or the lizard people, or whatever, by ceding ultimate control to something or someone else, it makes people feel safe, because it means someone or something out there is in control. The alternative is that there is no one at the wheel while we hurtle through space on this little blue and green ball of ours, and that fricking terrifies “normal” people.
