It is a choice that can definitely be made, even in a hyper-religious setting. Have you ever heard of logical thinking? Since when has it become impossible for people to think for themselves! No excuses please because there are none.
That is all I have to say about the matter because I am severely allergic to all types of religous fundamentalism.
You can call it a weakness if you want, I don't care.
Logical thinking is taught, it doesn't just magically happen just because you get older, it's based entirely on what set of truths you were raised with, and if that's replaced with barbarism and fanaticism, then you obviously get a barbarian and fanatic. It has nothing to do with not thinking for themselves, kids who are raised to believe that hate is acceptable and that they should blow themselves up for a cause because it's the "right" thing to do (obviously it's not but they don't know the difference), will inevitably believe that non-sense and do it because that's how they were raised. There is so much propaganda that they feed those kids that it would make your head spin, things that no kid anywhere should ever see or hear, things that most
adults don't even see or hear, and that's just one of the things that terrorists use in order to condition them.
