What makes you believe that they are consciously doing so? Their consciousness could be on the deceived side of the line, while they act instinctively to preserve the pleasant deception that provides them with food, shelter, wealth, happiness, and comfort.Given conscious cherry picking of chapter and verse for the purpose of deception, I wonder how some Preachers manage to live with themselves.
OR rather, autonomic instinctual processes create a comfy heaven for their conscious state by preventing them from knowing certain facts about reality.
