As in, they believe what they're told without questioning. I'm both the most scientific and spiritual person you will ever meet, but none of it has to do with belief. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 This is a pretty asinine question. Do I believe what I'm told? Sometimes yes sometimes no. If you don't question you're not learning. That's why I laugh at those who give me ***** for asking questions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{::'KayCeeS::} Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 If I know one thing about myself, it's that I have been brainwashed by everything around me, and that I have only found myself by having the balls to question everything I thought was sacrosanct.
