When you go that long telling yourself that you have a relationship with god, you end up baking your own brain. It's sad, funny, and disappointing at the same time.
I couldn't agree with you more. I think that's the reason why so many of my youth directors have been incredibly dull and boring people.
Yeah, they just have nothing new to offer or say. People like that can't contribute, unless they are doing simplistic, menial tasks (even then, some people like that aren't inspiring or working, a waste really). That's a good trait in certain areas. It's completely wasted in religion though.
That's probably why I find Sunday night youth group meetings at church to be so tedious!
