The Bentness of Human Nature
Another great article from Chuck Colson on The Bentness of Human Nature.
An excerpt:
In Milgrams experiments, a volunteer was told to administer electric shocks to another volunteer when he answered a question incorrectly. The victim was an actor there was no electricity. But with each failure, a more powerful the shock was ordered.
When volunteers hesitated, an authority figure prodded them, starting with please continue and escalating to you have no other choice, you must go on.
These words were enough for two-thirds of the volunteers to administer what they believed was a fatal shock.
I believe it gives some insight into how people who read the Bible themselves cannot call out the things that are wrong in an overly authoritarian structure, such as Gracepoint Berkeley Church.
