I'd like to stress one point, above: what kind of system posits that only one person is capable of critical thinking, and the rest, should they try, would only bring in confusion?
Now, as Christians we admittedly give a free pass to Christ. He could tell one and all, "Do you not yet understand?"
But someone please show me in subsequent Christian history where a single disciple of Christ puts him or herself in this position vis-a-vis the flock of God. It is unprecedented in anything resembling a normal Christian Church life.
