I haven't heard the sermon, but from the sound of the words, there seems to be a strong spirit of independence saying in effect, "I don't need you, I am self sufficient without you, so if you want to take a hike, don't let the door hit you in the butt."

I've seen too many marriages break up from that attitude. People start playing those "I can get along just fine without you," games. It is ugly in its core.

Am I mistaken about the attititude concealed in those words?
