I would agree. But running to the Church that has built their foundation upon graduated unchangable errors is not a good substitute. Both are flawed approaches.

George Washington:

...Precedents are dangerous things; let the reins of government be braced and held by a steady hand, and every violation of the constitution be reprehended: if defective let it be amended, but not suffered to be trampled upon whilst it has an existence129. 129 is a reference to a letter from G.W. to Henry Lee regarding Shay's Rebellion, cited in: Douglas Southall Freeman, George Washington, Vol. 6, p72.
