Blog 6: The idea of the prison house of language

The Allegory of the Cave tells a story about people in caves that are unable to grasp the sense of sight due to the lack of light. They have no idea what true sight is and they only believe what they know. They wont believe anything because it is what they grew up to learn. It is the same thing with religion, in my case because I grew up going to a catholic school for 14 years and I wont believe anything else because this is what I learned as a child. I wont say I wont listen to anything else that someone would argue with, but this is what I know so this is only knowledge of religion I know.
