Fallacy Of Pietism

​When you only focus on the basics of the faith and fail to develop them, you are left with an impoverished, simplistic Christianity that is defective.​

I like the idea of developing your faith intellectually and behaviorally. However, I think pietism is of value too. Remember, it was a reaction against the excesses of external behavior modification morality imposed on the faithful. Requirements and dogmas are just clashing symbols unless your heart is in it. It becomes second-hand religion unless it's meaningful for you.

Piety is a fruit of teue faith. This is diversion at its finest.
