Default Re: How Much To Throw Out?

Ohio,

I know that I keep talking that nearly scorched-earth policy on dumping LRC teaching. But in reality, my position is more like saying that we should love God and hate money. Hate is not really the point. It is getting it in perspective.

And what I probably really mean is that we need to be of a mindset that recognizes potential conflicts of understanding and willfully sets aside the default presumption that what we have been taught in the past is right. Be humble and listen and consider what is being said by others. Accept that we are probably seeing things through a funny set of coke-bottle glasses with strange tinting.

Don't just take what others say. But neither just reject it because we learned it differently in the past.

And last, be willing to take on a new lexicon.

Maybe that will help make my somewhat harsh-sounding rhetoric a little easier to swallow.
