Cutting down the dissonance: the psychology of gullibility

Christina Valhouli

T wo years ago, 14-year-old Nathan Zohner, a student at Eagle Rock Junior High in Idaho Falls, announced on the Internet that he had circulated a petition demanding strict control of a chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This substance, he wrote, caused excessive sweating and vomiting, can be lethal if accidentally inhaled, contributes to erosion, and has been found in tumors of cancer patients. The student asked 50 people whether they supported the ban. Forty-three said yes, six were undecided, and only one knew that dihydrogen monoxide was... water.

While embracing a ban on H2O seems more foolish than dangerous, this anecdote shows how quickly people embrace some kinds of ideas without subjecting them to critical scrutiny. The human propensity to accept ideas at face value--no matter how illogical--is the fertile soil in which pseudoscience grows.

Many do called Christians are Gullible because they lead by their Flesh not the Holy Spirit.



If you love God you will keep His commandments.



You can't just read the Bible, you have to be Lead by the Holy Spirit.



If you don't know what that means, then you need to Ask God to Save you !! He will, if you are sincere.

God looks at the heart of Man.

Today we have the choice to either live by our Christian convictions or compromise for the sake of peace and safety.

It doesn't have to be a matter of life or death. Sometimes we simply want to avoid ridicule,evade conflict, or fit in.

God knows those who are truly serving Him. Many are not.

But like to argue scripture.
