Nope, just my opinion, based on living among them my entire life.

Doesn't mean all are like this, but most SBs and AGs are much, much more into "feeling" than thought. Very, very emotion-based sects.

Very, very emotion-based sects.

And what's your "sect"?

[Quix]

EMOTIONAL COMPONENTS TO BELIEF AND PRACTICE

tend to be a function of many things.

1) Childhood quality of attachments or lack thereof

2) Genetic make-up

3) Teaching and modeling by the group leadership in that particular congregation and in a large congregation--in the particular subgroup-reference group of the individuals concerned.

4) The behavior/modes/tendencies of one's closest Friends.

I'd wager that I could find just as much emotionalism in Church of Christ, Lutheran, Presbyterian, etc. groups.

BUT IT WOULD BE EXPRESSED DIFFERENTLY AND OVER DIFFERENT ISSUES.

People are people. We are all emotional creatures. Custom, habit, reference groups, genetics tend to determine how such is expressed and how much in what contexts.

Sects?

Sounds like a bit . . . of a stern judgment on your part.

[CARepubGal]

Funny, Mormons insist on a Burning of the Bosom when presenting your message. So is feeling only a bad thing for Christians to have but acceptable for your group?

[sheik yerbouty]

Don't you like good sects?

[Revelation 911]

Doesn't mean all are like this, but most SBs and AGs are much, much more into "feeling" than thought. Very, very emotion-based sects.

ping for your input

[ovrtaxt]

Very, very emotion-based sects.

emotion BASED? Better be careful there...

By the way, we are created in the image of God. You think God is unemotional? If you want to believe in a Mr. Spock god, go ahead.
