This Intolerable Arrogance

People thinking to disciple someone. A program set up to convince others of truths. Starts in catechism. And Sunday school. Some knowledge is important of course. But what should be an invitation to a party turns inside out. Historical proof that what we are about to teach you is true. Infancy through adulthood. Validated at each step along the way by the previous step. And each level of teaching assuring you. We are the description authorities. You become validated by the system. You in turn validate the system. Cyclical. Feeding off of itself. Feeding off of you. Structured somewhere beyond the real world. You can climb higher and higher. You secure in your own validation. When all you ever had to do was love God.
