Some religious leaders who are preoccupied with
issues of control believe it is their duty to promote the
punishment of disobedient people whom they cannot
successfully control. Such religious leaders regard
alienation between themselves and such people whom they
cannot control --- as an acceptable price to pay for
trying to protect the purity of their followers. They
are unlikely to take note of the important distinctions
between:
1. A person casually choosing to alienate
themselves from another person or persons --- at their
own initiative and with indifference to the
alienation which they engender without appeal to higher
principles, ideals, or values.
2. A person choosing to be true to themselves
and others near and dear to them in efforts to promote
their personal and communal integrity --- even though
doing so leads to yet others to alienate themselves
from their integrative efforts and community.
3. A person committing themselves to some exclusive
and narrowly define ideal, value, principle and/or goal in
ways which lead to them alienating themselves from others
who are excluded from sympathetic consideration and
perhaps even sacrificed in the service of the exclusive
ideal, value, principle and/or goal.
4. A person or persons deliberately seeking to cause
another or others to be alienated from each other --- in
order to serve some exclusive and narrowly define ideal,
value, principle and/or goal which shows low respect
for personal and communal integrity.
Some people in practice do not recognize that such
distinctions might be made --- and see no reason why
they should learn how to make such distinctions in
charitable ways. Such people often undermine personal
and communal integrity.
