Honoring of legalism and worship of it. 2. Searching out of non-conformists who need to be corrected regarding truth, propriety and righteousness. 3. Diligent judgments, condemnations, punishments, and excommunications of people who do not repent of their non-conformist: attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, thinking, experiences, and behaviors. 4. Maintenance of their own arrogant and self- righteous: attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, thinking, experiences and behaviors. 5. Collusive games of mutual self-deception. 6. Defensive ways of engendering and maintaining conflicts between themselves and unknown others whom they fear. 7. Fears, anxieties, and addictions. 8. Technological fixes chosen to compensate for other people's sins, failures and inadequacies. 9. Dedication to certain truths and the elimination of doubts, uncertainties, ambiguities and paradoxes. 10. Intolerance towards all paradoxes which threaten to undermine their own alienative conceptions of truth, righteousness, perfection and completeness. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
