Why does any believer believe what they believe? Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu,
Bahá'í, Hare Krishna, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, Judaism, Voodoo, Wiccan,
Jain, Druze, Native American, etc, etc, etc. The answer is: they like it.
It's a known fact that quite a few of voters do their voting with their gut. In
other words, they settle on a candidate based upon how they feel about him,
and then use their minds to craft a justification for their choice. Take for
instance President Barack Hussein Obama. A large block of Americans voted
for him solely on the basis of his color rather than on the basis of his
executive ability. (Ironically Mr. Obama isn't even Black. He's what used to
be called Mulatto but is now called Mixed Race; viz: his father was Black, but
his mother was White. Lucky for him that his skin turned out dark or he may
have never won.)
Anyway, my point is: I've observed that people typically adhere to a religion
not with their mind; but with their feelings: the meanwhile using their minds
to defend their choice. Goes on all the time.
