I think a lot of people like to believe things that are false. It's easier then knowing and accepting the truth. I know that it do. I'd prefer to think that Warren Jeffs is evil, but I don't know it... I think that you and everyone you know believes, in fact knows, at least one thing that is so totally false they'd be embarrassed. I have a friend who at his church his whole life was taught that Mormonism is a cult and should be avoided like the plague. But then he moved a highly populated Mormon area and found out that they were pretty good folks... He was amazed. Also a bit miffed that he'd been lied to. Also I met a guy who thought that all Mormons had multiple wives. Guess what he believed something that was way wrong. Anyway you get the idea. Here's 5 things that I think most people believe that are wrong.
1) All Christian religions are the same. Way off. Most don't know what the other believe but if they did they'd be shocked. Did you know that some Christian churches preach that there was a pre-mortal existence and others don't? What about the trinity, most differ there as well. It seems to me that these are pretty fundamental ideas and peoples can't agree.
2) Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction... What do you think Saddam was?
3) George W. Bush is stupid. Where'd you go to college? I bet it wasn't Yale or Harvard.
4) All wars today are about Money. NOPE! Only the ones we are in are. Most are about religion.
5) Blogging matters. NOPE not unless you are already famous then most of the time even you don't matter either.
Your turn can you think of any... add them in a comment below.
