Use "corruptible" in a sentence
  • "As documented by Eric Hoffer and others more than a generation ago, the true believer is the most dangerous person to allow even near the levers of power. even when the beliefs are not as nasty as say, fascism or stalinism, the inability to absorb contrary feedback from reality, combined with the inability to connect with real human sentiment (and real human need) makes the true believer morally corruptible from the first instant he or she embraces those beliefs. does this speak against belief? well, if completely unedited by healthy skepticism, by critical thining, yes. but most of us are not so free of doubt that we never question. those who do not have this ability to challenge their own beliefs, though, they are to be wary of. tomemos Says:"
  • "It would follow, then, that Christ's body was corruptible, which is unseemly."
  • "They "reign in life" above through the indwelling seed, while all that is "corruptible" goes down into dust below."
