Their selective interpretations are often designed to block the revelation of their dishonesty and their lack of renewing integrity. New revelations, rebirths, resurrections, renewals, forgiveness, transcendence, visions and revolutionary paradigms are repressed---to protect old collusions and addictions which are essentially dishonest. Religious leaders often are very selective in deciding which ancient fundamentals to emphasize; and which ancient fundamentals to ignore. Religious leaders thus often lead their followers in the celebration of old rules and regulations which are carefully selected to prevent new truths and visions from disturbing their dishonest and deadly tranquility.
