If I believed in somebody named, Melvin, the Terminator, because I had a book that claimed Melvin was real and that I had to believe in him, and that Melvin was from a square planet 100 miles from Earth, called, "Kolob,"and I felt Melvin's presence in my life.....
IF I say that I believe this, that's cool. But what if someone came up and showed me that, in fact, there are no planets in existence that are: 1. Named Kolob 2. Square 3. 100 miles from Earth.
Should I:
a. Believe in Melvin nomatter what...?
b. Use reason and stop believing in Melvin?
Most Christians, even though Christianity has been disproven with 1,832 irrefutable facts, still claim that they will believe it - nomatter what!
Should people who believe like this, be sterilized, or straight-jacketed or institutionalized?
Wouldn't that protect sane society?
