Re: Religion and the truth
It's called Fundamentalism (or Evangelicalismas Christians prefer to call it when refering to themselves, to distance themselves from the proper religious nutters) .
I was watching a documentary about fundamentalism in the five major religions. One of the Christians said something along the lines of 'if you start questioning which bits of the Bible are true or not then you just pick make your own religion. Either it's all true or none of it is. that is why I believe in Genesis.'
