Not only Christians are reluctant to change views. Most folks will cling to a familiar notion, even if it is flawed, rather than shift all their mental furniture around to accompany a new thought.

Believe it or not, most people hate having to think much at all. It's too disturbing to them....I'm not making this up, people have told me as much many times. "What's the point of thinking about things that I can't do anything about, anyway?", people often explain."It only upsets me."

Somehow, I don't believe that simply 'thinking happy thoughts' is going to save liberty or restore constitutional government to America.

You said a mouthfull there. And I know those same people you described. I don't know if it's laziness or fear. I suppose a bit of both.

Then there are those who prefer to let others think for them, and take everything Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter (or Carville, Begala, etc.) says as gospel, and pretend to be "informed".

I don't know which type is worse.

I've heard that before too.
