If you need self-realization to accept anything, then WTF do they teach religion in schools and not philosophy?

Becauce it doesn't suit the status quo.

So, we need a sub forum or sumething about "did you chose your beliefs or where they enforced to you and you just follow them without thinking?"
That's a bit harsh.. more like "these are the beliefs I was simply raised with" and for some it led to - "later on, I saw enough inconsistencies I went looking elsewhere"

Self-examination of axioms requires a bit of energy... many people simply don't do it whether it be religious, political, or whatever. It apparently requires less energy to attack "the other"
