Why You Can't Forget Religious Stories (Even If You Try)

Описание: You've probably forgotten most of what you learned in school.

The formulas you memorized. The historical dates you studied. The definitions you repeated until they stuck—until they didn't.

Most of it's gone now. Your brain decided it wasn't worth keeping.

But there are some stories you've never forgotten.

David and Goliath. The boy with five stones facing a giant. You can picture it.

The Good Samaritan. A stranger helping someone everyone else ignored. You know how it goes.

Jonah and the whale. Three days in the belly of a fish. Still there.

You might not be religious. Might not have opened a religious text in years, or ever. But these stories are still in your head. Complete. Intact. Ready to be recalled.

And here's what's strange: they're not particularly complex. They're not brilliant literature. Many of them are quite simple.

So why do they stay when everything else fades?

This video explores why religious stories are so remarkably easy to remember—not to prove or disprove their truth, but to understand what makes them psychologically unforgettable.
