See, the thing is that your interpretation of the bible differs from that of the church next door. You believe that your interpretation is right and that everyone else's is wrong. This is one thing that all biblers have in common. Christians are much more of a minority than they choose to believe.
It's like your church communities exist in little bubbles or something. Someday the safety bubble will pop.
