DoubleThink as Faith

Being able to be happy with inconsistencies is part and parcel of religion -

• Jesus saying "Call no one Father" and Catholics calling Benedict XVI "Papa".
• We swear on Bibles in court, when the Bible says "Don't swear by anything."
• Sabbatarians and their endless mental gymnastics to avoid Paul's clear words against them.
• Annihilationists trying to call the appearance of Samuel to Saul a demonic manifestation, or arguing Enoch, Elijah and Moses really aren't resurrected in Heaven because of a verse in "Hebrews".
• Christadelphians who believe in literal fulfillments of Ezekiel's Temple visions in Ch 40-48, yet their happy belief in a non-literal Devil and demons.
• Jesus as "the Mighty God" but not the "Almighty God" in the various Russellite off-shoots.
• Any Sabbatarian Judaiser who uses flush toilets and doesn't go dig a hole a thousand paces outside the camp. Or doesn't immediately wash after sex. etc etc...
• The special ropes Orthodox Jews wrap around a suburb to make sure they're not working by leaving the "house" on a Sabbath.
• Any Believer who thinks the Unseen God must be shaped like a human because we've seen Jesus.

Etc etc etc... ad nauseum
