Bro
awareness, it seems you need to have a little perfection in your life in order to reduce levels of cognitive dissonance. See ... now you even got me saying that.
For example, I have become somewhat content with my LC experience, choosing not to forget all the good that came with the bad. I realize that no church is perfect, and they all got issues, as you say "His fan club." But has not God allowed or even planned for all the ingredients that cause this cognitive dissonance? Once He got involved with His creatures all sorts of contradictions surfaced. It seems for you, life would be so much better if God would have just written the Book Himself, and sent you a copy directly, bypassing all the failings of His Fan Club.
I'm thinking that life was more simpler for you before you learned how much
cognitive dissonance exists in life. Blame it all on God if you will, because He has charted this course. Call us naive or whatever, but most of us Christians are a lot more peaceful in life just trusting that the Bible is His word, and not having all the answers.
