     People   ultimately   committed  to  the  service  of
conflicting Gods will find themselves engaged in  ultimate
conflicts to which they must ultimately sacrifice all else
that is of value and importance to them.

     Any person who is ultimately committed to the service
of  conflicting Gods will find self ultimately  frustrated
and  torn  by the conflicting demands of those Gods,   and
nowhere to turn for a resolution of the conflict.  The way
to gain personal integrity is to serve the God who is Love
and places personal and communal integrity above all other
ideals  and values.   The gods who demand the sacrifice of
personal and communal integrity are not the God who is the
ground  of  being,  the source and support for  all  being
which has meaning.

     Any desires, goals, ideals or principles which assume
the  status  of ultimates which can not be compromised  in
the interest of promoting personal and communal  integrity
are desires, goals, ideals or principles which lead to the
disintegration of persons, communities and their meanings.
They  do  not merit personal or communal  respect  because
they  tend  to  disintegrate the persons  and  communities
which respect and support them.   They lack integrity  and
undermine  integrity,   but  may be regarded  by  some  as
conflicting   ultimate   concerns,    Gods,    worthy   of
simultaneous  respect  and  service.   Such regard  can be
tormenting.
