It's a false association, plain and simple. Worse, you seem to like the idea of blind obedience to authority, and the scriptures be damned.

My perspective is simply my perspective, not doctrine. You are being very careful to delineate Satan's behavior which is a contradiction to an appreciation for alternate voices. I do not think the situation was that cut and dried or black and white. The support for my views exist but I will not discuss it here.
Innoculation is not my word. Earlier on in the discussion I hummed and hawed whether to stick with the word and perhaps that was a poor choice.
I have said nothing about blind obedience and am befuddled by your assertion, for I have only championed the idea of freedom to choose ... ask UtahDan.
