And is my analogy bad just because you say so, or are you going to tell the class why, like I did with yours?

I did say why.

As most of you know, I'm taking driving lessons. The philosophy behind them is learning how and why things happen. This means that I should end up able to evaluate situations autonomously and know how to think for myself. If the lessons consisted merely of learning the rules of the road and which control does what, how does that make me a driver as opposed to simply being able to move a car around, however safely? What happens when I come across something that wasn't covered in the lessons?

*emphasis mine*

Your analogy implies that everyone needs to take driving lessons in order to be a safe driver, this is not the case, here you are given a learners permit and you learned (with the help of a licensed adult) by doing it yourself.

If your analogy of driving lessons = life lessons, then one cannot be taught life lessons, one must experience life and learn for themselves.

My father tried to explain things to me, but guess what it just went in one ear and out the other, now that I'm an adult, I get what he was trying to tell me.

The same with church, I went to church as a child, that too went in one ear and out the other for the most part. I stopped going to church for a long time, not because I stopped believing in God, but because I was too busy acting a fool; Now I get what I was being told all that time.

No one finds God... God finds you.
Huggy you are full of shit
