How can a belief become a deeply held one if you do not question every aspect of it?

Asked by Plucky (10316points) March 12th, 2013

Do you often question your own beliefs?

If so, why? If not, why not?

For me, I find it odd that many people do not question their own beliefs frequently.

I understand the notion of people having faith (I don’t mean only in religious/spiritual form…but political, societal, etc.). However, I do not understand why they choose to simply have faith in something, without questioning every aspect of it first.

This idea stems from a thread I read last week…on some random website. For the life of me, I can not remember which it was.
