     In the palaces of power and people  with  power  take
advantage  of people with less power.   The less  powerful
people are vulnerable and are misled,  taken advantage of,
abused, violated.

     Seduction  entails  the  violation  of  the  personal
integrity  of  the person who is  seduced:   their  needs,
desires,   wants,  fears,  concerns and interest  are  not
honored or taken seriously.

     In sexual seduction the needs, desires, wants,  fears
and  concerns of the seducer play the dominant role.    In
religious  seduction there is a pretense that transcendent
ideals,   values,  doctrines,  and communal  concerns  are
guiding  the  seduction and so the seduction is worthy  of
respect---but  such pretense is but a mask which hides the
darkness of dishonesty,  collusions,  and bitter fruits of
the seduction.

     The  impropriety  of sexual seduction is  often  more
evident  that  is the impropriety of religious  seduction;
for  false doctrines and claims to the means to  salvation
are not clearly apparent to most  people seeking religious
guidance.

     In  seduction  there  are usually false  promises  of
security.   It is prudent to take time to see if those who
make promises regularly deliver on their promises over the
long term.   Much seduction can be avoided if promises are
not accepted without careful evaluation.
