well i agree with that, but it assumes that one could not think of when. Imagine a world where you are raised believing that you must learn a trade in order to earn "money " to eat and clothe yourself, and that "church" is a place you go to a couple times a week, and you are taught all the various other compromises that we assume from the cradle to be true--that might keep one from VS's description of accessing the divine--which all seem completely acceptable to us.
It's perfectly acceptable to drive a car, for instance; disregarding that it is not possible for every adult on the planet to have a car, and that oil extraction is contaminating the water, and burning fuel is contaminating the air. But it is of course ridiculous to suggest that owning a car is a sin.
