When you are handed information, especially from the internet or someone who might not be trustworthy, you might wonder if that information is actually true, or if your leg is just being pulled. In Animal Farm, all of the animals on the farm are the followers of "Comrade" Napoleon. Napoleon, Squealer, and all the pigs give them all of this made up information and lies so that they can get away with things, and surely enough, they do. Because the animals are so gullible, they are letting Napoleon get his way right under their noses, and once they finally realize they've been tricked, Napoleon and the pigs have become the human tyrants they all feared from the very start. This is very similar to how in the real world, people are constantly fed information about a religion, and from a young and especially gullible age, kids are being taught all of these things that are clearly made up. "Was the world really made in seven days by an invisible man in the sky?" is the serious question that needs to be ask, but no one is questioning it, and like the animals on Animal Farm, this is due to gullibility. So, "don't just take information as it comes, use your brain and think for yourself." Not everything you will be told in life will be true, so stop and think; real or fake? True or false? Don't be gullible.

Two atheists debate with a Christian about how having faith without proof is gullibility. The Christian states that you have to have faith in God, however the atheists explain to him and the viewers that it is pointless to have faith unless you have reliable evidence of God's existence. When a person chooses to just believe in something, even though there may not be any good reason to or any proof of that thing existing, it might be due to gullibility.

This image depicts a man covering his ears and ignoring all the science that suggests God and many of Christianity's beliefs/ideologies aren't true. This is a representation of religion and its mainstream followers, and how they block out all logic and reason from their head in order to "have faith".

Jehovah's Witness is an organization of people that work for the Christian church, and are assigned the task of knocking on your door and trying to tell you all the wonderful things about Christianity, and why you should convert to it. When people try to convert you to a religion, and a person agrees to convert, it may be due to gullibility. Christianity is a perfect example of this, because it's one of the most widespread religions. Back in the day, around when Christianity was first established, it climbed up in numbers pretty quickly because of its ideas, such as the idea of being a good person and going to Heaven when you die as a result. Many people, especially today, join a religion and believe in the existence of these ideas, even though they have no proof of it. They don't put much thought as to whether the ideas actually exist or even make sense in reality.

Analysis of Quote from Modern Day Research

# data[].attributes.body
This quote talks about how having faith or believing in a religion and its ideas relates to being gullible. Just because something sounds pleasing or sounds like a good idea while first hearing it doesn't mean you should really believe it. One must analyze and critically think to him/herself if something is true or not, if something is real or fake, if something is good or bad. When someone such as a Jehovah's Witness is trying to convert a person, and that person only bothers to think about how good that would be, but lacks the thought process questioning it, this is a sign of gullibility.

"Another side effect of faith is that it makes you more gullible. We live in a world where deception is common and it's important to figure out who's telling you the truth and who isn't. People need to have good screening mechanisms to survive. You have to be able to test information to see if it's true.

When you believe on faith, you reprogram your mind to accept information that is untested. It's like having a back door where crooks can sneak in and get you to believe anything they want. All they have to do is cook up a scam and slap a cross on the front of it and Christians are reaching for their wallets. "

All around the world, people believe in God, Jesus Christ, and/or just in a certain religion in general, and show that they do in many ways by activities such as attending Church, praying, spreading their faith, etc. They believe in the Bible and its teachings, and believe that it all comes from the word of God. The most popular belief of all is that if you behave morally correct and follow the Bible, you will go to Heaven when you die. If not, you will burn forever in Hell. Without any proof of whether there actually is a place your spirit goes when you die , people believe in these teachings because they are either scared into it, they find it convincing, or they are simply taught this is true at a young age, when they are the most gullible. This is an issue, because none of these people probably ever stop to consider the possibility that none of this might be true. Research done by Charlotte England proves that believing in something without any proof to it existing blocks out a part of your mind that is used to analyze situations, solve problems, and to make sense of the world around you. When a person ignores this part of his/her brain, and makes the decision to believe in the ideas of his/her faith, even when there is no proof of God's existence in the first place, this is due to gullibility.

This video is similar to Animal Farm, and could possibly be seen as a metaphor for it, if you think about it. The rats represent the animals on Animal Farm, and the person building the traps could represent the pigs and Napoleon. Napoleon and the pigs develop Animal Farm more and more into a place for their own personal use and privilege all right underneath the animals' noses, similar to how the man in the video builds a trap while the rats don't see it coming. And like the animals in Animal Farm, the rats fall for the trap and finally realize what's happened to them when it's already too late for them to stop anything.

In Charlie Brown, the character Lucy tells Charlie that she'll let him kick the football, even after several times in the past, she usually never really lets him kick it. Charlie falls for it, and Lucy successfully tricks him again, ending up in Charlie missing the ball and falling. This is an example of gullibility, and just like how Charlie trusts Lucy without much thought, the animals in Animal Farm blindly believe everything the pigs say and can't think for themselves.

The following quote from Animal Farm depicts one of the characters, Boxer, who believes, without much thought, that just because Napoleon says something, it must be right. This is a clear example of gullibility, where the character is told something and he is instantly willing to believe it without thinking for himself.

“Boxer, who now had time to think things over, voiced the general feelings by saying: ‘If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.’ And from then on he adopted the maxim, ‘Napoleon is always right,’ in addition to his private motto of ‘I will work harder.’"

Animal Farm is a short story focusing on the animals of Manor Farm. After an elderly pig, Old Major, unites all the animals on the farm, they all rise up and rebel against their farmer, Mr. Jones, and kick him and all his workers out of the farm. They create a society where "all animals are equal", along with the general commandments of Animalism that everyone must abide by. After a long time spent working and keeping the humans out, life seems perfect; they are no longer the slaves providing for humans, but belong to themselves to work for themselves. However, after several fights between the two commanders of Animal Farm, Snowball and Napoleon, Snowball is chased out. Lies are continuously spread by Napoleon and he and all the other pigs slowly start to take control  over the farm, driving Animal Farm further and further away from the equal order the farm was first supposed to be. The farm eventually is so driven away that by the end of the book, Animal Farm is Manor Farm once again, and there isn't any difference between the pigs and the humans.

If you do what the image tells you to do by saying the word "gullible" over and over again aloud, you, yourself, are literally gullible. You fell for it! There is no way that the word "gullible" can sound like "oranges", yet you thought it might. Like in Animal Farm, the animals are willing to believe anything, and eat up all the information the pigs give them without much further thought.
