Don't Be Kool-Aid Minded

"Don't Be Kool-Aid Minded" is a term used as a loving reminder or warning to a person who is demonstrating behavior that is viewed as foolish, dangerous, or insincere. This term is used to admonish individuals who exhibit a lack of critical thinking, preference for conformity, and an overemphasis on superficial or materialistic values. The admonishment is also directed at individuals who show a tendency to break commitments, engage in gossip, or display duplicitous behavior. Its usage is often intended to encourage a more thoughtful, independent, and authentic way of living and interacting with others.

"Seeing her son being led astray by superficial friendships, the mother gently advised, 'Don't be Kool-Aid minded. Real friendships are based on trust and authenticity, not popularity.'"

mindful heretic

a person who finds that the only way to uphold the ideals and principles of one's belief system or group memberships (churches, clubs, political parties, socioeconomic groups, etc.) is to BREAK its rules mindfully. THis means the person does so knowing full well what the repercussions and backlash for his/her actions or words might be. While the word heresy is rooted in lots of religious history, a mindful heretic is possible not just in religious organizations, but also in broader secular contexts as well.

A family has a tradition that has existed for generations tjat depends on a racist pattern of behavior. When you choose to break with that tradition because you can not in good faith continue being a member of the family unless you refuse to follow the tradition, even if you know you won't be invited to family gatherings, you have been a mindful heretic to your family's orthodoxy.

A theologian who chooses to write what s/he believes to be true despite the religious consequences is also a mindful heretic. See Matthew Fox's Confessions of a Post-Denominational Priest for a great example.
