A common concept pertaining to backsliding is that of a normally sterling Christian
stepping out of character and behaving in ways unexpected in their religion, e.g.
honesty to dishonesty, fair to unfair, charitable to uncharitable, kind to unkind,
deferent to demanding, law-abiding citizen to scofflaw, etc.
Back sliding actually pertains to animal husbandry. In other words, when ranchers
move their herds to different pastures, or the slaughter house, they load their cattle
on semi trucks by means of ramps. Well, sometimes a cow or two balks and sets
their two forelegs as stiff and rigid as bamboo poles thus very effectively resisting
forward movement up the ramp and onto the truck; sometimes their resistance is
so energetic that they manage to lose whatever progress they gained to begin with.
