We train children to believe the “truth” AS TOLD TO THEM in fundamentalist and evangelical churches. Then we wonder why they don’t question talking heads that start with statements that they’ve already heard delivered with the same emphasis as that used by their favorite preacher.

Again, people who go to fundamentalist/evangelical/Pentecostal churches don't seem to question what their clergy tells them. It's the same sort of authoritarianism--letting their leaders define EVERYTHING for them so they don't have to expend any energy searching for the truth--like we see in how they approach current events. A reminder: these are the same people who favour LITERAL interpretation of the Bible...no arguments, no dissent, no questions...believe these words just as they are...or else! (No use trying to tell them their "version" is a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation etc.) It's keeping your "flock" in line by scaring them to death. If you have to resort to fear to get your adherents to trust in what you're preaching, then you've got a faulty product you're trying to sell. This atmosphere of churches run by spiritual dictatorships is one of the main reasons I turned my back on these sects long ago, became a confirmed Episcopalian/Anglican, and never looked back.

Yep. Trained to believe the white man at the front of the church (making up stuff).
