ever since then, people have just assumed that what their parents and grandparents have said is true, without bothering to think for themselves. after all, that is encouraged - as every christian knows, it's GOOD to be a sheep!

Troll. This is a bit harsh. Not all Christians are sheep, and at least some of the Christians I know have considered the origins and history of the Bible and are Christians because it still makes sense to them and resonates with them on some level. I'm not a Christian myself, and I do think a lot of people tend to just go along with what they're taught, but to paint all Christians with the same brush is unfair.
