Not blindly, because they are told to by Pastor Neverwrong.

I remember going to a bible study a while ago and after arguing for the first half decided to sit and be quiet thru the second half and just never go back. What a bunch of sheep they were.

Not all churches are that militant in their beliefs, thank goodness, but the ones that are, are very frustrating to be in or deal with.

I believe in god and in evolution but I take the bible as more of a source to learn lessons from rather than a factual history of the world.
