LMAO @ Tetrapod - ur 1helluvafunnyguy!
Lots of people have said so many things that make sense here I cant quote them all.
I guess im just embarrased that I used to use exactly that argument. It comes at a particular stage of your development, I think. It comes at the stage when you are still defending da troof, at the stage where you are still shit scared of apostate material, at the stage where you are doubting, but working real hard to convince yourself that despite your doubts its still the only place to be.
Later on you can accept different views and takes on things, like you dont have to go anywhere you can just leave, or there are a million places you can go to, or you dont need anyone to lead you.
But whilever you are still bleating that mantra, you are too early to be talked out. Like a yellow head that hasnt developed to the point where the pus can be squeezed out (sorry about that grim analogy). You have to wait for it to get a head on it before you can get rid of it.
