Perhaps I misstated my earlier post. By “lack of real education “ I didn’t mean stupid or dense. I live in rural areas and believe me I actually know among many a real rocket scientist. Rural people have for the most part as good an education as anywhere else. What I meant was the local customs don’t normally lead people to question what they are taught by religious leaders or other community leaders that have hidden agendas. Because of that they lack the knowledge that is actually at their fingertips (especially in the Bible). My example you ask? Jesus told the scribe “Love yourself and your neighbor as yourself “. Nowhere in that said “except if your neighbor is gay, or black , or white, or Indian, or anything else. No just love your neighbor as yourself. These are the things I meant by saying “lack of real education. No one taught them or encouraged them to seek knowledge where they could find it. Hope that clears up my opinion. Thanks for reading
