Where it is a duty
When you are tempted to enter a belief system that has a vested interested in a static set of beliefs, a set that cannot change or the system will fall, it is best to consider the choice wisely.
The problem is that theories, evidence, proof and general knowledge of life and the universe is constantly growing and changing. If you are really interested in finding truth and being free to continue to find it over the years, you must in turn be free to go where the evidence leads.
That is problematic if you are in the middle of a belief system that won’t change it’s tenets in the face of evidence, but instead twists the evidence and makes wild and untenable explanations.
