Can You Hear Me Now?

         How come people believe everything they hear? Is it because they just want to believe what is convenient for them and their life style? Is it because they were brought up that way? Is it because they are just to lazy to find out if what they heard is true or not? Is it because they just want to stir up crap, because its going to piss people off?

         I do not have the answer to these questions, and I don't know if I ever will get the answer to these questions. I have heard many different reasons why this tends to happen. It just seems to me that it's a never ending cycle that you see on Television, radio, or just someone you know. Someone is always spreading some nonsense that is not true.
        One would think that in this day in age where you can get information on anything from anywhere at anytime by just moving your fingers that this would not happen. It just baffles me that some people still believe we walked with dinosaurs, rode on the back of dinosaurs, or just don't believe in dinosaurs. When every respected scientist, university, and museum can prove that they did exist over 65 million years ago. Since there is no mention of dinosaurs in the bible then they couldn't of existed, because you know that every single word in the bible is true. Even though it was written by man, and man is never mistaken about anything. Not only was it written by man, but prehistoric man. They must have been smarter than modern scientists to have written the bible.
        People also need to check more than one source not just the first one they find that talks bad or good about their point of view on a subject. Here is an example  a lady politician from the north part of the country {not going to mention no names Michele Bachmann} decided to help spread a rumor about the Presidents visit to India a couple weeks back. She stated that, "President Obama's trip to India was going to cost 200 million dollars per day." Then the some of the news channels started reporting what Bachmann said. Then people from my sister's work were all upset over the Report. It spreads like a wild fire and most people don't bother finding out the truth. Whats funny is that the war in Afghanistan doesn't even cost 200 million dollars a day.
         In conclusion I think it would behoove all of us to keep an open mind. This is my opinion, and mine only, but I think its fine if you want to be religious. Just don't deny the facts of  subjects like evolution. People start thinking, "I can't believe in evolution, because that would contradict what bible has to say." In the end all  it does is make you look ignorant. I know lots of people who are religious, and still will tell you evolution is a fact.
         Finally please do not believe in everything your congressmen or women have to say because they are a Republican or a Democrat. Just because they might be the same party as you doesn't mean they have your best interests at hand. Remember most of these people will say almost anything to get reelected.
