Lolol. How the human mind can be influenced? As a three year old? You think? They also believe in the Easter Bunny. And the tooth fairy. A small child can be influenced and shaped by anything. I can tell a child that there is a giant surfboard that watches over surfers around the world and that child would probably believe it. Still no comparison, sir. Once that child grows, he or she gains more knowledge and can deduce that these things do not exist. If you want to try and go that route, go find older folks (or even teenagers) and try to sell them the story of Santa Claus. See if they're as soft and easily influenced as you think.
Just because that's what you believe it means, doesn't make it so. I'd love to know why a lot things happen the way they do. But I also know exactly where I am and what I am doing. I'm not lost by any means. "The truth," as you say, is only your belief of what it is. You don't actually know that what you think is the truth is really the truth.
