Doctors, lawyers, and others of high standing may join hands with clerks,postmen etc etc to do a certain project for the church or community, but once these are over they tend to go back to their own groups again.
Yet again many do give up careers, comfort, safety and security to go out to preach, teach, evangelise and help the less fortunate, so its a mix really.
sad to say, many high caliber people that i had met before in the church don't exercise much discernment and are pretty ignorant of things that are beyond church and their professions. they dont read pervasively and the type of media that you read are confined pretty much around what matters to them. So on ignorant grounds, they venture out spreading their ignorance to others.
out of 400+ members in my ex-church, i can count the number of members that are keen on science with just one hand.
shall i tell them that they are ignorant and shake them out of their sense? or do i let them wallow in their ignorance and superstitions?
can you imagine this;
one fine day, i was walking along the street happily when a man just out to speak to me, and tell me that I am sick and I need their snake oil to heal and failure to take his snake oil, I will get sicker and die.
Common sense will tell I that i will ask what give him the idea that im sick. is he a doctor? a psychologist? nope, he said he is a sharman. should i exercise my logic here?
and this shaman say my sickness cannot be detected by modern medical equipments and all the trained doctors will not be able to diagnose it. What is this shaman's qualification? oh, he studied under an ancient medieval healing system where unicorn and fairies are real.
He also said that he has a dungeon built in his basement with all sort of torture equipment and he will drag me into that dungeon for ignoring him but i dont have to go there at all, he has sent his beloved son to that dungeon to get tortured by him for my sake.
howabout that?
