What makes one guy/gal get all super-heated over some organized religion - be it Christianity, Buddhism, or New Age Astrology - rather than some organized political persuasion - be it Marxism, Libertarianism, or Rastafarianism?
Temperament. The general, genetic temperament of that person. And then, that same temperament makes the mind manufacture a reason, an explanation to justify what the temperament did anyway.
No problem so far...
Except that the person - being led around by his temperament - has no clue, what's going on. S/He "thinks" (because temperament made it so) it's the "ideology" that attracts them to the cause. But it's not the ideology at all. No one follows a religion or political persuasion because of an ideology or an "ism".
Temperament controls everyone, and temperament makes the mind come up with reasons why the temperament does what it does anyway, and the person being controlled, thinks it's just the otherwise, just the opposite. Hah!! You think you're going one direction, but you're going the other. Hah!!
