So ok, you acknowledge propoganda and believe in free will. If everyone tells you that jesus slaughtered babies and you never heard any other stories can you really choose whether you believe that or not? I mean it's all you've ever heard and it's the only thing you've ever heard.
Yes, I meant to say "of course", thank you for pointing out my typing error. And yes, people can choose to believe whatever they want, despite of how many options they are given.
