We pick up the thread on what makes a belief “stupid,” using faith, satire, and psychology to test whether the issue is truth or the path we take to it. The film "Idiocracy" becomes a mirror for a societal path we may be taking towards slogans, communication breakdowns, and bias that shape choices today.

• how belief formation differs from being right or wrong
• personal experience versus evidence and when to hold loosely
• confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance in daily choices
• sleep, hormones and hidden drags on decision‑making
• Idiocracy plot beats that mirror modern culture
• charisma, accents and why delivery outruns logic
• loss of subtext and forced warmth in communication
• slogans, illusory truth and processing fluency
• mere exposure, propaganda and repetition effects
• simple habits to check certainty against evidence

Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon.
