>>over-indulgence bears a tremendous penalty.<<

I have seen many a family of which I was thankful that I was not a part of because of the over-indulgence in religious beliefs expressed therein.


Over-indulgence can starve a person of other needed wealths also.

I'm curious if these families were Bible centric or organized-religion centric? I found it odd the Founders held organized religion to the point of theocracy as one of their greatest fears and yet willfully participated (even encouraged) Bible study. Then I noted the differences between corrupt organized religion and genuine personal Christian lifestyle. They are exceedingly different things. I feel for you and concede your point. I only hope your circumstances don't present a hurdle for objective historical and Biblical study.
