This analogy isn't perfect, but it's powerful. It is "dead"-icated to all who "man"-ipulate Scripture to fit their own humanistic variety. It is also for those who preach a man-centered gospel and are no longer teachable, or to anyone whose favorite "soul-dance" is "Scripture twisting"...to all the spiritually blind leaders who teach the "I-did-it-my-way" hermeneutic. (too bad they're not spiritually mute as well) and to the pompous baboons who are militantly anti-Christ to the core. Does that sound a little rough? Well...if the dancing shoe fits...
