but it all sounds insane if you think about it in any logical way. But then it doesn’t have to make sense for believers who are just supposed to BELIEVE it, in undying hope of preserving their immortal soul and being reunited with their loved ones in the afterlife?

Humans have hoped for immortality for thousands of years in many different forms and religions. For many, maybe it is just an innate hope or desire to live on beyond the grave…but for many others, perhaps it has become more like a cult with its own set of rules and indoctrination. Doesn’t have to make sense. The more unbelievable it is, it seems the more hope, fear and coercion is built into it to keep the faithful in line or under control.

And I think that is how and why people like Trump take advantage of such believers for his own purposes. Such people have already been groomed and conditioned to believe unbelievable lies. The bigger the lie, and the more times you say it, just seems to make it more believable, especially when forced upon the masses by a bully who claims to know more than anyone else.
