That's not even what I'm asking. Attention span of a squirrel. I'm asking between the 2 which is more dangerious in the terms I gave. Someone who claims they have the truth or someone who seeks to find it. It doesn't take a genius to look through history and see what the correct answer is. Thus why do we look down upon those that do question the claims while defending those claims that have caused so much animosity throughout history.
You can believe whatever you want but never le the belief control you. Always question. So what if the question leads to a silly answer... you'll simply find something that wasn't true which helps you ascertain your beliefs further. In the words of Thomas Edison, "I didn't fail 1000 times. I just found 1000 ways not to make a lightbulb." It's the close minded people in this world that cause violence... especially in factions if we go off the words of James Madison. Not to many times we see people who are open minded do things in that name violently.
