Extremists: a question and a talk

[robvalue]

Getting your directions and morality from a book/authority is just flawed whatever way you look at it, in my opinion.

If you just do whatever you're told regardless, you're amoral at best, and prepared to carry out acts you consider horrible at worst.

If you would only do what you'd do anyway, or stop following it if it disagrees with you too much, then you're just projecting your own morality onto the book. You might as well not bother.
