No, it's not a matter of going along, it's the refusal to understand: <Does that mean if i don't go along with what you think i will be excommunicated? > If somebody doesn't understand, they either refuse to, or can't, or are busy elsewhere. You were not busy elsewhere so you either can't or won't.

It's not a matter of agreeing. It's a matter of understanding a point of view with which you disagree.

I've seen refusal to understand thousands of times in the course of my life and it's not worth my time to pursue the matter. The refusal seems to be to do with maintaining power against a perceived threat - even the admission of an idea threatens the power. You see it in China - the mere hint of challenge to the correct ideology brings down the force of the megalomaniacs. Similarly with dragging young people out of the muck in the north - they choose to do what they do. It's not worth my effort to stop them.

Fortunately, I'm more capable of living among the silly rules than those who voted for them, so they go down before me. That's why Good always triumphs over Evil - Evil can only exist as a parasite on the Good. First, there's Goodness, then the Evil can latch on and feed. The feeding has grown mightily now and many countries are falling over bankrupt from the process.

Democracies have a chance to wipe the parasites off. They don't necessarily do it, but they have a chance if not too many people think like you do.
