Please excuse me, dear Amos, my brother in Christ, but it seems to me we're not talking about the "reason" of certain "conservatives" here. We're talking in much more general terms, about the spinelessness of people who choose not to live in, nor carry on, the tradition in which they were raised.

Instead, he should remember....
There's nothing "reasonable" about being "unreasonable"....
Oh, it's late, probably well past my bedtime!
So I'll just say good-night, and God bless, to any person reading these lines.
May God's' blessings be upon you!
And on you, dear Amos! Good night! Sleep tight!

2. An overiding desire to be liked, popular, fashionable, etc-—at all costs
3. Willful ignorance (ie., distaste for immutable truths and moral absolutes)
