      Yeah. Saying “you just don’t get it and never will” is a great way of defending anything you want. Even if, like in this case, it’s not consistent with the facts. The “it’s a sin to question, so don’t or else” approach has also seen quite a bit of use.

      And for some reason, what god is telling us is always convenient for the powerful, and for the dominant culture…
