The question of Appropriateness

[AnthroHeart]

I can only speak for myself, but at any early age (teenage years), when I was exposed to the supposed Biblical story of some guy sacrificing his son because God demanded it, I thought that was f'ed up and I would never blindly follow anyone, not even God. But I've always been a rebellious type.

That being said, I'm sure I could have definitely been fooled into doing something I regret, but it would have to be through another distortion rather than obedience to a superior being.

I wish I had the same tenacity as you. I totally gave my free will over to God because he "demanded" it. Or he asked for it, or I got the intuitive feeling about handing it over. So I felt once like I was acting without any free will. It made me distrust God, and I've still not gotten back to completely trusting God.
