Question

why should we abondon certain tradition?

Answer 1

I know I did, anyway. Raised a Lutheran, and spoon-fed church dogma and doctrine from as early as I could sit in a church pew, I grew up believing that the Lutherans were God’s chosen people. (Because most Scandinavians have a Lutheran heritage, you probably already know the old joke–that Lutherans are God’s Frozen People) When you’re raised in a religion, you just naturally accept, as a child, that your religion is the right one. You don’t think about it–you just know your parents and your grandparents must be right about most everything, and you figure they’re right about religion, too.
