I remember sitting in church one day, everyone's arms raised high, singing, praising God - and I sat there, stoic. Why? Because I was trying to reason each movement and action.
It is often said that college years steal the faith of the young and force them to reason everything; sometimes, they are even taught to reject their faith. Why? Because it is not convenient to the generation who teach many of the young, or wasn't convenient to those who taught the teachers.
The 1960's - free love, don't trust anyone over thirty, do what feels good. All of this was part of tearing down all the social mores that came before. Many sought to destroy religious ideas that did not fit in with their ideas of sex and marriage and self-reliance, and replace them with churches where God's laws were picked through, using those that fit those in the church.
If we pick and choose the laws we wish to follow, then do we really follow anything?
