Belief in CS prevails like an epidemic?

TEXT: "The inclination of mortal mind is to receive Christian Science through a belief instead of the understanding, and this inclination prevails like an epidemic on the body; it inflames mortal mind and weakens the intellect, but this so-called mortal mind is wholly ignorant of this fact, and so cherishes its mere faith in Christian Science."(MBE) - quoted in the article "Belief Versus Understanding" (Eustace book, p695). You are encouraged to read the whole article.

 

DISCUSSION: 

Any thoughts, experiences re this epidemic which inflames mortal mind and weakens the intellect?

We re looking for examples of inflamed mortal mind, and weakened intellect resulting from a belief in Christian Science.

How do we detect, guard against belief in CS?
