Easy-believism is always going to be more appealing than hard truth.

Except that many spirit filled evangelicals aren't easy believers, and doctrinaire legalism isn't hard truth. Other than that, is your point appropos of anything?

I never said that easy believism was the reason for the non doms I stated the fact that many left dead denominational churches where the Spirit led worship and teaching had been replaced with tradition and legalism.

Possibly you are coming away with a different opinion than mine? That does not make my point not "appropos" of anything.

You look at it as legalism, someone else looks at it as rigidity, I look at as the narrow road.

I wasn't talking about the candles and incense of the liturgy, I was talking about the "so-called" rigidity about sexual morality (homosexuality, contraception, abortion), morality and general, and things like fasting, attending Church every Sunday, etc.

Christianity is more fun when you dumb it down to having the occasional bible study meeting.
