The stupidity of sin

[robvalue]

It's like being a magnet that attracts the first metal thing it finds, then sticks to it forever, with no room for anything else. It's just a matter of which piece of metal it gets exposed to first.

Yeah, I suppose so. It's understandable if it was something you were indoctrinated into - ie happened at an age when you are naturally very trusting and believe everything you are told at face value - but if in Huggy's case it wasn't indoctrination and he made the decision as an adult (and I don't know either way on that question) then something must have made him arbitrarily choose to suspend the skepticism he applies to any other claim for this particular claim. I'm just asking him what he thinks that is.

Oh, I see. Yeah, if he wasn't indoctrinated then it is very odd.
