I suspect that I know why Pete7* does not concede that he may be wrong. It is because it would, in his opinion, be disloyal and disrespectful to his God- and that could have dangerous consequences.

Years ago, my sis reared her daughter with what I considered short sighted, ignorant mores; she didn't appear to want to consider anything than the fundamentalist viewpoint, no matter what anyone in the family believed.

The poor girl went through a rough time after she became grown and left home, going through drug use and various other experiments.

Guess what- the 'girl' is now about 50 years old and as dogmatic as her mother...
