Religious leaders who are preoccupied with issues of
control (in the manner of addicts) often blame rebellious
people for their sins of disobedient rebellion. The
religious leaders have eaten from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil --- and so pretend to know who
is good and who is evil; and they "know" that the people
who rebel against their own "good" religious laws are the
"evil" people. The religious leaders are often blind to
their own arrogance --- and blind to the legitimacy of the
rebellion of the people whom they have arrogantly labeled
"evil", and whom they have tried to control.
Arrogant religious leaders engender alienation which
is the essence of evil relationships --- and leads to all
of the evil behaviors which flow from relationships of
alienation.
Arrogant religious leaders are often preoccupied with
issues of control (in the manner of addicts) and define
their religions in terms of conformity to certain patterns
of expectations, rules, laws, prescriptions and
proscriptions. They are often the scribes who have
written down, translated and/or interpreted the
sacred/holy scriptures which they seek to control and
maintain within their control.
Arrogant religious leaders are usually not interested
in liberation, healing or engendering the acceptance of
all Children of God into open and honest dialogue ---
about their own personal experiences, needs, desires,
perceptions, hopes, aspirations, beliefs and convictions.
The agenda of arrogant religious leaders is the
accumulation, extension and exercise of the power to
control all that they fear in life and death.
