why do Christians epistemologically believe anything in a book handed down to them. because they eihter defer to an authority telling them its true or use thier own judgement to do some utilitarian judgement call that the texts are more true or better living principles. really all of that is ultimately a utilitarian judgement call even differing to an older authority merely the judgement that listening to a defined tradition is more advantageous or efficacious then going off on thier own. that's why prophets where madmen they where not making utilitarian judgements on epistimological positions, they were insane and spouted whatever came into their head weather it would advantage them or not which is why ancient societies put some trust them since they where not manipulated by whatever human qualms they had. so why a christian or a Islamist or anyone else chooses to follow one preacher or one book is the same mechanical pursuit of some end. why do you follow the bible and not the Iliad? Utility. when you are killed it is for what you believe. when Zechariah or Amphiaraus is killed is for what they KNOW. you are not the same.
