The sermon last night was about
how the church in Corinth was fighting over which leader to follow. Theoretically,
the dissension was over which of them was wiser; but I suspect that each of
them had a different personality, and so those people with similar personalities
thought that the guy most like them was wisest.
I mean, that’s how people choose
their religions, isn’t it? Hellfire and brimstone people choose hellfire and brimstone
sects; kinder, gentler people choose gentler religions, or in many cases, versions of the same main religion.
The trouble comes when you’re raised
to believe that you’re stuck in a religion and can’t change, even if it doesn’t
suit your personality or spiritual needs. But I digress.
