    I’m with you on the first three sentences and the final one if you omit the last five words. If you live somewhere rural enough or without sufficient oversight for whatever reason, people start thinking they can bend those rules though. Being raised to believe that their book club has a monopoly on truth and morality contributes to the problem as well. Makes it a lot easier to ignore rules that they don’t agree with using the justification of a higher power’s commands.
