Every time these people encounter new information, they check it against the bible to see if it is acceptable as to be assumed as truth. That means even if they encounter something solid and tangible, if the bible denies its existence, so do these people! Even if it’s a bus doing 90mph heading straight for them, these people would deny it was real! So by stubbornly insisting that the bible is the infallible word of a god, these people are willingly allowing their lives to be affected in a negative way, aren’t they?
