Too many people rely on tradition and teaching instead of studying the issue for themselves.
This is not against you Thad, it's just indicative of the way we were taught.

Michael, Thad won't study this out for himself (most people are like that when taught something all their lives), although I can't blame him because it has nothing to do with him, but he just only repeats what he's been told, therefore honest discussion can't be had.
However, like you pointed out, it's the way we are taught. I was taught the same way and believed it to death until I started studying it for myself and realized that the teachings were in error.
