34. Certainly. But we almost all want to be good, but without guidance

don't always know what good is or how to be good. Instead we too typically get tugged and buffeted one way and another until blown together with people who validate unexamined notions by sharing them.

Speaking of, I was shocked on moving to rural GA to discover that many evangelical and fundamentalist churches offer no moral lessons during Sunday services and that many ministers simply don't have the ability to teach them if required. Most mainline churches require studies in theology and screening for ability.
And no wonder so many rural evangelicals without good inner voices are so screwed up these days. But they're hardly worse off than anyone else without a decent moral foundation and the ability to apply it.
