The new generation should be questioning everything, but removing nothing unless it truly needs to be removed. I'm sure there were OT kids who said, "Mom, WHY do we have to burn incense? That's stupid!" And then if they were referred back to the law, they probably said, "Oh yeah...because God said so." And they kept burning incense.

The point being...make sure if you question something, you find the answer before you ACT.[/
I think this is a very good point. My personal opinion is that sometimes, radical, iconoclast actions needs to be taken, but that is the exception and not the rule. If it becomes the rule in someone's life, I think it becomes more of a personal problem than a true iconoclast work.
