Dogma - The deification of intellect

When confronted by facts will people change their dogma? The tricky thing about dogma is you think it was god who came up with it...as a result you defend ideological dogma at the expense of your rationality.

People are rational until they think their idea came from god. They deify their intellect and when you question whether they are right or wrong they ask how can god be wrong. When in reality it isn’t god who was wrong it was your interpretation that was wrong.

If you fall into thinking you can’t be wrong you will never grow passed that point. It’s when you think you can’t be deceived that you are the most prone to being deceived. Bottom line is we need to rationally think through our belief to see if they are correct. Questioning beliefs is the antivirus of the mind. When you do not question that means you disabled your antivirus.
