Question by hypno_toad1: Why do some people seem to want to believe in lies?
Even when presented evidence to the contrary, they still want to believe the lie.
I guess I’m referring to urban legends among other things. Like the urban legend about KFC using chicken parts grown in vats that aren’t actually chickens. Its silly and easily proven false, so why believe it?

imo you’d have to be two yards short of the plank to believe that king of thing.

Sometimes it’s called denial.
Sometimes it’s just ignorance.
Sometimes what people hear and what people read automatically become true in their mind. And once the idea is there, they have real doubt about anything to the contrary.

If people do not know the “truth”, they are open to believing the lie. Satan LOVES people like that! He snatches them up in a milisecond.

People believe what they want to here, no matter what in some occasions, but usually if they think they’re right they will stick by it and defend it even if theres clear evidence proving otherwise

Belief in God comes from outward and inward causes. There is no argument that completely proves God’s existence, this however doesn’t mean that our faith is blind and illogical. Our faith is the cultivation of reason and probability.
I believe in God because:
1. Design
2. Morality
3. Personal Experiences
4. Revelation
I understand that many have gone a different path, but as for me this is enough evidence for God’s existence.
These lyrics summarize my relationship with my Creator.
I will follow Him,
Follow Him wherever He may go,
And near Him, I always will be
For nothing can keep me away,
He is my destiny.
I will follow Him,
Ever since He touched my heart I knew,
There isn’t an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love.
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
And where He goes,
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow.

I’ve concluded that myths and legends are for lazy-minded people who don’t want to process details that can help them arrive at a rational conclusion. Sort of like the kid that sits next to you in school and copies your answers because they don’t want to do the work for themselves.
It’s no different than rumor-mongers and gossipy people. It requires too much intelligence and morality to dig for the truth or to assume the best. Its much easier for them to buy into the salacious version of real actions and events if only for their own entertainment.
BTW, when I was in 9th grade, a kid named Gary was glancing over at my test answers. Its a good thing I was using a pencil because I wrote the wrong answers on purpose. I changed them near the end to the correct ones.
Long story short, he never copied my answers again.

A quote from Adolf Hitler: “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”

I like to think of lies as a way people try to manipulate a situation.
No one wants to be manipulated. Lies are easy to see through, if you have the experience from life to know truth.
The most embarrassing day of my life was when I knew my Mom knew what I was up to and knew she knew I lied about everything I could get away with.
