| | "It is a well-known
phenomenon that, the less people care about the pure doctrine, the more
religious they become and the more value they ascribe to special
events."
I saw this quoted on another blog and I decided to reproduce it here because I liked it so much.
Perhaps the clergyman who said it didn't even realize what specifically he was onto: namely, that biblical and creedal illiteracy in addition to ignorance of systematic theology (in short, the typical evangelical emphasis on "heart knowledge" at the expense of "head knowledge") comprise the symbiotic wellspring of annoying religiosity and superstition.
I'm not certain of who said it, but I believe he is currently a pastor in the Canadian Reformed churches.
