You brought my name into this, so let me say for the record that while I recognize that there are bad traditions and vain traditions, there also are good traditions. I do not disagree with your statement here. Furthermore, let me say that a related term is the word "structure." Children and the spiritually immature benefit more from tradition and structure than those who are mature. Sometimes those who are spiritually adolescent over-react to their past traditions and structures, sometimes not giving enough heed to the proverbial "don't throw the baby out with the bath water."
