S3 Ep55 Confirmation Bias in Politics, Economics, and Theology

We have discussed previously the idea that most people are deceived in to thinkin that they actually think, but they are really just acquiescing to some system or group. In many areas, there are laws that guide outcomes and reactions and ramifications no matter what we feel about the topic or what we want to be true. We have to guard against these biases. In Theology, we see the most dangerous result of submission of mind and will (required, example, in Catholic doctrine and dogma) for we will all answer for our beliefs and actions before our Lord. This problem is certainly not limited to the Catholic Church as almost all of professing Christendom is sliced into sects, each connected to a personality or system.
