Dogma is imposed upon us and held there by force. That force is generally imposed by others according to custom rather than a single man. The powers-that-be realize that to control people, you must get them to 'believe' so that they will insist it upon each other as well. Most of our opinions are broadcast to us, then we just parrot them as if we know. -- E Archer, NYC 1
