<<then the believer must either follow that truth lock-step or be a heretic.>> Ah, the love and comfort of nice and easy stereotypes. You are defining things for us again that we don't attribute to our selves. The truth is very, very simple, for example; kindness is a good thing, meanness is a bad thing. The application of religion is in the fallible hands of unperfect humans. The truth does not imply sameness of circumstances for all human beings it recognizes the differences and unique struggle that each of us must engage in to take "personal responsibility" for what we do and say. It also recognizes the sameness of the human condition. The "lock step" attitude of course can be applied to any institutionalized political agenda and sometimes religion is woven into this. When you have a country that is governed by religious principles, yet imperfect in its ability to apply the religion as it would be done in heaven, you have a flawed example of the religion. To universally apply an example to beings that don't adhere to a particular "application" of a religious concept is to deliberately misapply a stereotype. I understand that if you are not open to the idea of truth being founded in religion, then you must do this to justify your world view. Right?
