(36,270 posts)Religious fundamentalists usually acquire their beliefs culturally, and stick to them no matter what evidence to the contrary undermines them. Logic and science obviously won't shake their delusions, and neither will appealing to their own belief system-- when the bible or whatever religious text they acknowledge argues against their core values, they'll either rationalize the difference, if they can be bothered to engage in thought at all, or they'll simply dismiss the contrary information out of hand.
I'll bet you could put 100 randomly selected anti-choice christian fundamentalists into a room and have Billy Graham himself making this argument and quoting scripture in its defense, and at the end of the day 100 anti-choice fundamentalists would leave the room "with their faith strengthened." That's how rigid thinking works.
