Every sub-culture has to adopt axioms that, once internalized, no longer can or need to be challenged. "We know Jesus saves, right, and so..." Lots of really bad conclusions have been drawn about the world starting from objectively stupid premises.
I gave up on blackbootz' discord server when I had to go eleven rounds explaining the concept of scrip only to encounter "that is not my dogma therefore you are a poopyhead." They say "fiat" a lot as if they know what it is but it's actually just a synonym for "satan".
