Farsight,
Could it be that they are frightened of finding the truth, they do not want to hear. "I have cancer, but do not want to hear it by my doctor". They have closed there mind and heart to any truth that might make them question there illusionary believed truth. I know for I was one. Paul

What beats me is how people who consider themselves to be scientific and rational believe in things for which no evidence exists, and believe in them so strongly that they will not examine contrary evidence. There's some kind of lock-up at work here. Like "I know it's true so I don't need to look at the evidence".
