"We are God's sheep." wow, great analogy...

I once had a conversation with a Christian friend of mine and it can be summed up as follows:

Me: I don't want you to beleive everything, or even anything that I believe. I just want you to challenge what others tell you to beleive and actually think for yourself instead of just accepting things.

Him: "I don't want to think" (exact words).

Its easier for most people to live with the comfort that someone else is their intelectual leader. When everything you believe and think is dependent on another person it gives you a sense that you are mentally safe.
