%ISSUES CONTROL EXISTENTIAL EXPERIENCE TEST THEORY+990320

Religious people who are preoccupied with issues of
control are often opposed to giving consideration to
existential experiences and to empirical scientific
testing --- when they are asked about the worth, merit,
value, validity, or truth-value of their favored
religious commandments, prescriptions, proscriptions,
scriptures, taboos, rituals, confessions, etc. Why might
this be so?
Religious people who are preoccupied with issues of
control are likely to be concerned that the "right" people
be "in control". From their point of view people who
give careful consideration to existential experiences and
empirical scientific testing --- are not likely to be the
"right" kind of people to be "in control"; for such
people are often not properly preoccupied with issues of
control --- in the same way as are religious people who
are truly concerned with the fundamentals of the faith.
Disagreements are often disagreements over the
sharing of power; disagreements over who should be "in
control". The controlling people who currently "have
power" are unlikely to be willing to "share power" with
those who are vulnerable because of where power is
currently concentrated. Those who do not have power are
likely to resent those who do have power; and so are not
truly worthy of being given power. The resentment of
the powerless shows that they are not worthy. They
should be more trusting --- in order to be worthy.
