in the game final fantasy 10, the main characters go on a pilgramige. (spoiler) they find out at the end of their pilgramige, that it has all been for a faith that was completly fabricated. the faith goes as follows:
thousands of years ago, when machines ruled the world, man became corrupt and self destructive. they created weapons that were capable of destroying all the world. as such, the great)forgot his name i think its) sin came to be. sin was a creature that destroyed cities in single blows. and if we repent for our sins, stop using machines, and pray to the great summons, sin can be destroyed by a summoner. the summoner must go on a pilgramige to gather all the summons, and eventually the final summon. but the final summon is so powerfull that it will kill he/him. the summon will defeat sin and if we have repented enough, sin will disappear... forever.
now sin was real. it did destroy their cities, and the summons did kill it. there were renagades that still used machines, so naturally people balemd sin's revival on them. it makes sense. but that wasnt the case. they wre so scared that they were destined to live a life like that , they blindly accepted tha faith.
you are so scared of the possibility that this is it, you have blindly accepted this faith. they had plenty of evidence, but evidence does not mean truth.
