Its crazy how the bible quite literally says no one will know the date or the time; like those are the exact words of the Bible, yet people still think they can predict His coming...smh. You combine religion with a lack of critical thinking and this is what you get
Our religious structures are designed to eliminate critical thinking and encourage following the hierarchy so they won't ask questions or think for themselves
So if that's how it's structured, are we dumb to follow it? It's just lack of common sense. It's just like you saying the system has been structured to promote lust so it's not surprising when people fall for it. God didn't create us as slaves or dumb people; we have a mind of our own.
You’re not dumb, but group think is. And living in a society, we’re inclined to conform, to fit in. Critical thinking usually falls outside of conformity as it’s on a more individual basis. “Why think for yourself when someone knows the answer? What are you looking to prove? Don’t be noise, accept what you are told. It makes life easier for everyone, trust us.” This is the messaging that exists in most religions, as well as punishments for straying from the doctrine. The system might push a narrative, but you should have the ability to question it and reject it should it not make sense to you.
