The idea that if only he had been left sheltered in a conservative UPC church he would have never considered robbing a bank or the other illegal activity is absurd.
I know plenty of PCI folks who don't rob banks.

CC,
It wasn't just a matter of switching from one doctrinal position to another.
He got his conscience shot full of holes and riddled by those who chipped away at the foundations of everything he had ever been taught.
Some people can take that and some can't ever really recover.
That's why it is a dnagerous thing to do.
Let's not make this silly.
Obviously robbing banks isn't a hallmark of those who espouse the PCI position; but becoming disillusioned to the point of making incredibly bad choices is sometimes an effect of having the foundation of your faith ripped out from under you.
