Obedience 2. Disobedience because there is only one set of commandments, rules, laws, etc. --- God's. Domineering legalists rarely acknowledge any merit in sets of commandments, rules, laws, etc. which are other than in their conception of God's. Their challenge is to be domineering enough to overwhelm people who have other conceptions of how best to approach human dilemmas, problems and difficult situations --- to coerce obedience. For domineering people there is only a technical problem, not a dilemma. The human dilemma is that their solving their technical problem --- alienates them from the many people who are: weak, poor, sick, hungry, thirsty, vulnerable, women, children, homeless, naked, and/or in prison. Such alienation leads to personal and communal disintegration for all, including for the very "best" members of the disintegrating community. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
