i think it all comes down to this:
confirmation bias
stockholm syndrome
battered person syndrome
fear of death
indoctrination from birth
cant find anything else that describes the causes of why a person would believe in religion
what do you think?

At the Pentacostal Church I used to go to, most of the other kool-aid drinkers were 2nd generation. (or longer)Well I half believed or not at all a lot of the weird charismatic stuff.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
