Beliefs do not require critical analisys, in fact it encourages blindness. Blind faith anyone?
A child posing contrary questions is heartily discouraged in a faith based belief system. They are encouraged to read a circular reference in a book written by a very clever fiction writer who understood how to engage the easily lead.
I have beliefs, they are just not "faith based". I believe demonstrable scientific methods result in a belief that the same experiment yields the same results.
Not this verse says god said this. It is true cuz god wrote it.
Child: How do we know god wrote it?
EasilyLeadAdult: It says it right here. Bible, the word of god. See? Job done.
Child: But.. nvm. Imma go to the garden and eat an apple.
