How can a church keep people from choosing what they want?
People seek answers. They seek information and belief from other people whom they trust. Far too few people have been taught how to think, question, evaluate and discriminate information. Fact is, we usually don't want to find the tough answers that we didn't really want to appear anyway. I would say that a church
can keep people from choosing, period. As a group, it provides the answers for them and causes them to choose not to choose.
