ABSTRACT
It is said that precendent rules the world, but pre-conceived ideas are the controlling power upon the minds of men. We believe what our forebears believed, whether right or wrong. We are Democrats or Republicans because they were, never giving one thought how far they may have strayed from the principles the fathers held so dear. We are Methodists or Baptists because our parents were, never stopping for a moment to question whether the doctrines they held were the conceptions of theologians of the Roman Catholic church during the dark ages when she was in her most hellish state.
