It's been normalized for you through indoctrination, though. Imagine, if you can, living your life completely areligious. You've never been to church, never read the Bible, never worried about God's approval, never thought about sin, never believed anything other than that which is real. So then, say, at like 40 you wandered into a church and you started hearing about the holy trinity (that's bat####, btw), virgin births, and God's allowances for rapes (all good if you're invading another country and see a woman you like!), etc. You'd be aghast. You'd be indignant at the boldness of outright lies and the auducity of the authoritative claims.
Or maybe think if you walked into a place of worship in ancient Greece and started hearing about Zeus and Hermes or whatever. You'd think it was BS.
What about Islam or Hindu gods. You must think those guys have it all wrong lol.
I mean, it's rational for us to be annoyed that a chunk of Calgarians opt to go to church every Sunday and deliberately allow themselves to be fooled by that which is not true.
