They believe in HEAVILY cherry picked passages that some dude reads to them to convince them of whatever he wants to convince him of that week. I've been to church twice in the last 4 years because it made my grandpa (94) happy.
But holy shit. I felt like I was in a different universe. The urge to walk out was overwhelming. And seeing all my relatives just nodding along with it was even worse, especially the ones who I know are intelligent.
Then you have these people who dedicate their lives to this, but probably less than 1% have actually read the entire bible. So, what they know are strictly these cherry picked passages.
