Following a path of love leads us to understanding, and in understanding there is no room for judging others as unworthy.

I'd agree that it leads to BOTH.

I do think it leads to arrogance, as you end up thinking you have The TRUTH! and 99 percent of the world doesn't. Some pastors will act like you're not faithful enough if you don't act accordingly, too. I still cringe when I think of how I dropped tracts over the heads of my classmates and constantly put up stuff about church functions on the "non-curricular clubs" board and treated several wonderful people more like projects than friends. And when I decided I couldn't take the Assemblies of God church anymore, because I had fallen in love with another girl, guess who was there to pick up the pieces? Those people I'd been treating like projects!

The fundamentalists and pseudo Christians are in fact ideologues and not Christian at all. They have given up faith and worship dogma instead. Theirs is not just blind arrogance but also blind ignorance.
There are so many good Christians out there but people do not see and hear them because of the braying of these ideologues!

Having blind faith attacked can lead to blind arrogance.

Faith is not blind. You have to be able to see or you will be carried away by every wind of doctrine.

Yeah! I agree with that "I am rational" thingy above me...( I wish I could wear teeth like that.) If you don't buy her book, your god will not like you anymore and possibly even smite you a little.

I always say dogma is for dogs, and relationships are for people
