             In “ I Know the Truth, So Don’t Bother Me with Facts” Jeffery Kluger points out that researchers at Ohio state university conducts a study determining how false beliefs are sticky, and what it will take free people from believing them. Kluger states, in a new study by R. Kelly Garrett and Erik Nesbit recruited 750 people report being familiar with, and believing rumors about proposed Islamic cultural center. For example, how easy it is to manipulate people belief systems with insinuating pictures, or inflammatory quotes. kluger ends by saying even when people do take time to learn the facts, the effort often does no good.


             I agree with Garret and Nibet that it is easy to change people belief. For instance, people seeing horrific picture about their religion such as Christianity. I can relate to this situation because when I was in Sunday school the teacher had show me a picture of how Jesus was put on the cross to be a sacrifice to have god forgive us for all our sins. When I saw that picture of Jesus on the cross I had believe that it was true. The same thing that go for other religions such as Buddhism and Catholics’. So with all that said these are one of the ways how people are convenes to follow a certain religion.


        The same as people can be persuasive of being told what actual events have been taking place from a scripture from the bible. Yet here are Two testaments the old and the new. The Old Testament, containing from Genesis to Malachi and the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation.  These are some prime examples of what people read in the Christian and catholic religion.

       Last but not lease, many people in everyday life including me have a bigger impact on believe. when they are shown something visually what had occurred back in the B.C. times.  like  for instance  a movie called “passion of the Christ”  by Mel Gibson; it was so graphic that showing the hole process of what Jesus went thru  for his people had  sent a powerful message  to believe that there is a god  because he had resurrect from the dead.


         In conclusions, there are many different believes as I have stated. But there is one thing that we can agree on is that we all believe that there is a god, despite of all the different types of religions that are out there. People are persuaded because all the religion is all pointing to one being which the creator god himself.
