The Amish do get some time to re-evaluate their commitment (Rumspringa), but one could argue that after all those years of complete isolation from other input, not much is going to shatter their faith.
These sort of 'renewals' would be half decent if they weren't just as habitual and/or forced as the rest of religion in childhood.Last edited by formant; 24 December 2012, 13:49.Comment
