re: #3 Sergey Romanov

I actually wanted to write that, but then I thought that confusion is probably not the right word. He is aware of what he is doing and why he is doing it, so I don’t know if calling him confused explains anything.

His main justification for his belief is his acceptance of the Bible’s version of history based on faith, which in my mind, is an un-reasoned emotional response to the stress of trying to internalize an idea contrary to accepted evidence. I’m not sure you can assume his intellectual side has much input into this particular belief.
