Discovering all sorts of biblical truths and wanting to beat them over the heads of various peoples. I remember going to worships services and spending the entire time thinking "well that's unbiblical, as their are at least 4 people speaking in tongues all at once, with no one attempting to translate them", which is a fair point I suppose, but I got so caught up in my ranting that I could never quite get round to actually worshipping God. I finally realised quite what I had been doing when I read Romans 14 & 15 and 1 Corinthians 8 & 9 and then heard a sermon on loving your neighbour. Ah yes, I too can see myself here.

It is humbling to remember. Cage-stagers simply don't do nuance. As for Calvinsm, I have finally shed the last vestiges of it. I clung the sovereingty of God concept long after I discarded the rest as logical sleight-of-hand. I have a new concept: God is free. Radically free. Unbound by preconceptions. Free to do as he chooses. Free to upset our notions of propriety and order. I can't take credit for this idea. I read about it in Walter Brueggemann's The Prophetic Imagination. I highly recommend the book and the author - he has become my favorite theologian. Yes, I too have done this. It is humbling to remember. Cage-stagers simply don’t do nuance.
