Why is it that people don't use their brain to tell the right or wrong?

Question

for example worhsiping the sun, cows or denying the excisting of God.

Answer 1

I would not consider anyones beliefs to be them "not using their brains", why is what you believe right and their belief wrong. You can't judge past or present beliefs without actually solid fact that they are indeed false.

Also, I think that you have written that to show that you believe in God and that those who don't are stupid. How is it that they are stupid but you wrote the excisting of God not the existence?

Answer 2

Why is it that people use past traditions to pick apart what other people have used their brains to determine and then claim that they are the only ones thinking?

Answer 3

Why is it that people go to yahoo answers and do not use their brain when asking a question. I dunno, just saying....

Answer 4

Well, they are of course using their brains, but I do get what you mean. The thing is someone who has an option does use their brain to think, is this right or wrong. They know which is which, and they can almost see the consequences. Of course, I have no idea about people with mental disabilities, but for people in general. I can say to myself, man let's rob this old lady. I need money, let's rob her you know? I would know it is wrong, but I need the money, so I can think, well if I don't do it, I will lose my car, if I do I could go to jail. Well then someone will use their brain to say, is it worth, do I really want to do it, sometimes desire will rush over people's rational thoughts and they will do the wrong thing. They are using their brain, but they might not be using their heart. And by using their heart I mean the side of their brain they that analyzes things to see which is truly the right thing to do. By one of the examples you gave up there about people not believing in God, people do think about it. The thing is about people and God, it is a sensitive subject. If they believe in God, then they have these beliefs that they might go to h**l, or heaven (not all religions, but that as an example) and that leaves uncertainty in their hearts because they don't know what will happen. Without believing in God, they can say to themselves, well he isn't there, we are all just going to die. There is no uncertainty there you know what I mean? I personally beleive that all people believe in God or some sort of superior beings, but like to say these things to get the idea of that uncertain death off of their minds, and having to stress over if what they are doing or have done was good or bad and many other things, because death is of course a very serious subject to many people. o why stress with all of the problems, when you might end up going to h**l anyway? Some people are lazy and don't have the hope they need, but I beleive those people who do these things that may seem to us to be radical and foolish, are the ones people need to keep from so we don't get pulled into it. So why you may ask do they do it, they are foolish and will deserve what is coming to them. I hope I made sense to you. I hope I helped! Bye!

Answer 5

this question was a little immature

Answer 6

I think some people just choose to be stupid. Everyone of us are born with a conscience. And when we get to a certain age, it kicks in. Any intelligent person should know that the bible is just common sense, even if they choose not to believe in God. But they refuse to agree with the bible because if they did then they would have to acknowledge the person who inspired it(GOD.)
