Do your beliefs come from the traditions that have been handed down to you from your family, or do they come from your personal research into religious customs and beliefs. Many of us grow up doing as our family instructs, and we never question the origin of these traditions. If you were to discover that the traditions you hold dear are against scripture, or come from questionable origins, would you continue those traditions and pass them down to your own children? Would you be willing to give them up even at the cost of alienating your own family members?
Is this an instance where ignorance is bliss, and we don't want to find the true origins of many man-made traditions because we are afraid we might find out that they're not what we thought, and we don't really want to give them up. Are we strong enough to stand up for what's right, even if it's not what's popular?
