You don't get it, that's all.

When you believe things in a certain way, beliefs have consequences. They also produce culture. Culture affects us in both voluntary and involuntary ways. Things we don't even think about. If "outsiders" were those with long sideburns, televisions lighting their rooms and mustaches, you consider than for a few decades and it's a pretty well burnt template into your subconscious. It has trained patterns in your brain. This can be fleshed out a 100 different ways.

We talk all the time about how people should think for themselves yet some peoples lives are turned upside down by a man behind a pulpit.

Yeah, your trash can message wasn't exactly "blowing up my skirt" and gushing with personal love. Let's not act surprised by the reaction you got.

I gave you an explanation, and you gave me a trash can.

And yes, many people's lives are turned upside down by a man behind a pulpit. You couldn't be more right. And I suppose it's not the pastor's fault. It's those who believed he was the "Man O God," the Moses for all time, and any dissent, disobedience and disagreement would take you straight to the hot place -- or at least "plant a seed of rebellion" which would cause you to "backslide." But yeah... just those obedient people's fault. Especially when they grew up in this since they were a child. No frontal lobes, no ability to adequately reason things through. But yeah... it's their fault.

You said it

And sure its their fault too. Just like its the husbands fault who beats their wives. but its the wives fault if they continualy get beaten.

11-3.

Still a blow-out.

I may change my vote. I like "THE 'MORE APOSTOLIC THAN YOU' FORUM" (thanks, Danny Boy)
