We are implicitly told by addictive religious leaders that we will be given the integrative communal context which we need and yearn for---when we have earned it: but not before. The integrative communal context which is essential to the development of personal integrity, we are told by perverted religious leaders, must be earned through conformity to proper beliefs, thoughts, emotions, desires, behaviors; or else by the deceitful appearance of such conformity. The tragedy is that many people are the willing victims of such perverted religious leadership. They pervert the gospel of Love and turn it into judgmental legalistic technologies of condemnation and excommunication. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
