My cult has so destroyed my ability to think independently, reason, and process facts that when others directly quote Scripture I can't even deal with it, so I have to throw my knife wider and wider in the hopes that they'll forget the point I never considered in the first place!
Dan
As a believer in Jesus, I read what He says several hundred years' worth of pseudo-Christian demagogues say that Christ said, I believe conform to it like a good little minion, I affirm it (so they won't hurt me). I would be an arrogant fool show some actual guts and fortitude to do otherwise--and I just don't got what it takes.
but you've beat me too it!
