Religious fruit cakes need to be told what to do.

Love how the religeous claim certainty that THEIR instructions from God, and they all seem to justify their “grandad’s” values as to when to break their own principles.

Ie:

Love thy neighbour but MY NEIGHBOR got a Windmill so I should be allowed to arson!

If a thief takes your cloak, also give him your coat… but no socialism for anyone I dont know, they r all lazy bums

Etc etc

No chance any of this is u know who, or maybe just your ego? Oh no, you know cause a gut feeling and old folks said so

In Evangelical circles, we refer to this as discernment. Discernment is great, it explains why the bible might be confusing to some people, why it might seem to definitely contradict itself, and why it seems to be so broadly open to interpretation. To navigate all of that, you don’t trust your evil sinful gut - you use Discernment

It’s spoken about as if it is a super power you get when you become a Christian. Unfortunately, you don’t magically become discerning once you become a Christian, and plenty of people are just dumb.
