the ancient egyptians believed the pharaoh was a demi sun god.they believed it so much no one could bear the thot of looking at him on the face.
the current japanese emperor iz the first to reveal hiz face out in public.as much as the japanese are enlightened,the strongly believe the ruler of the worlds oldest monachy iza god.
if a concept was drummed into my psychic throughout my life from birth,i stand to believe it as the sole and absolute truth.galileo galilei was ex communicated by the roman church in the renaissance period because he dared challenge the notion the earth was flat and the sun rotate around us.he sed the earth was round and we rotated around the sun.he was punished for that and ostracised because the medieval demography had been born into the concept of the former.thus believed in it fervertly.
soviets believed that stalin was a genuis.that the soviet system was the best.they were born into an active marxist propaganda machine that made them worship the figure of stalin and lenin.even now in russia,the older generation refuse to accept the tirant committed worse attrocites than hitler himself.because they were born and introduced into a system in which they ended up believing it waz the absolute and unchalllenged truth.
the same applies for religion as i vaguely stated above.
hope thats clear enuff.
