At the root of faith we have incomprehensibility, perplexity, obscurity, ambiguity, mystification (choose the one you please)

Those who wrote down the rules of the faiths did it intentionally. What did the believers do? They just believed, and they still do, because none of the supposed facts of faith is clear. So the believers had no choice but to take the stories for granted. They had no choice because they needed something and the faith has provided for their needs. They had no choice because the whole thing was an enigma, and the best thing seemed to be to believe without questioning.
