Please define "believers"... that is a wide-open category. Everyone
believes in something. You must believe in gravity, and believe in it
blindly... because it can only be understood in theory. It cannot be
physically examined, but it certainly can be experienced, and I'm sure you
"believe" in it's reality and its effects. :)
Don't knock it, 'til you try it, honey...
For example, If you want to believe that the moon is made of green
cheese... and is served best with ranch dressing, and if you also believe
you've tasted it and experienced it... and you think it's the greatest
thing since sliced bread, it would be impossible to talk logic with you
either.
People who believe the Bible was written by God, and those whom you call
impossible to talk logic, more than likely have had a life changing
experience that has convinced them that the Bible is true.
There is no brainwashing or mind control. It's called FAITH. A very
healthy human attribute.
Sounds to me that you've just found something in life and the social culture
to disagree with and you just want to thump the thumpers. (I actually
don't blame you to some degree)... But, If you haven't experienced it,
you cannot logically judge someone who claims to have experienced it. One
cancels the other.
