The Sunk Cost Fallacy

“Reasoning that further investment is warranted on the fact that the resources already invested will be lost otherwise, not taking into consideration the overall losses involved in the further investment.”

Now apply this to whatever religion was indoctrinated into your brain at age six – not by your choice of course - before you were capable of thinking for yourself. Think of the decades you’ve invested in this belief system, fueled by habitual inertia as much as anything, all the while shunting aside the reasoning part of your mind that is screaming as loud as it can: “You believe in virgin births, people walking on water, a talking snake and people rising from the dead!!!”

PS: Yes, timed in the wake of a religiously-fueled massacre, per the shooter’s 911 call before he commenced with the festivities.
