Religious people will search high and low to find something, anything that will confirm to them that they are not just being stupid in believing as they do, and they will believe anything that confirms it in their minds.I've never really understood why NDEs and religious experiences are attributed to the God/spirit world being existent and content to just tickle people's brains instead of an obviously localised experience being, um, obviously localised, i.e. merely physiological.
Obviously it's MUCH more rational to assume it's the former and not the latter
When they start to grow up and have doubts about what they have been told to believe they need to look for confirmation from others, they get a lot of it from churches where there are other doubting believers who are as desperate as they are, by telling others they are right to believe they are in turn trying to reinforce their own beliefs,
it is in effect self sustaining, when you're down I will prop you up and when I'm down you prop me up, why else do you think they have religious COMMUNITIES?
If what religious people believed was true they would not need to worship in churches because their God is supposed to be everywhere and with them, churches were designed to prop up believers when they start having doubts.
