     Heretics  are NOT loyal supporters of some pattern of
beliefs/convictions.                                      
                                                          
     Heretics call into question truths which are regarded
as  of great importance by the group which  fully  affirms
the questioned truths.                                    
                                                          
     Heretics affirm beliefs/convictions/rituals which are
rejected by the norm setting group.                       
                                                          
     Idolaters  worship false gods of various forms;   not
the One True God.                                         
                                                          
     What  is  the  nature  of the connection/relationship
between  heretics and idolaters?    That of course depends
upon  who  defines  who  the heretics are,   and  who  the
idolaters are!                                            
                                                          
     If   those  who  are  making  the  distinctions   are
incoherent  and/or  lack integrity ---  it is  foolish  to
expect to  find any clear pattern regarding the nature  of
the   connection/relationships   between   HERETICS    and
IDOLATERS.                                                
                                                          
     If those who are making the distinctions are coherent
and demonstrate integrity it may be that:                 
                                                          
     1.  Idolaters/heretics  refuse to acknowledge  truths
which   are   complementary  to   the  idolaters/heretics'
own exclusively affirmed partial truths.                  
                                                          
      2.  Idolaters/heretics  refuse   to  tolerate integ-
rative paradoxes which affirm what the  idolaters/heretics
regard  as   contradictory   affirmations ---   but  which
entail complementary partial truths.                      
                                                          
     3.  Idolaters/heretics refuse  to  cooperate  with or
work     collaboratively    with    complementary    kinds
of  "different"  people  ---    who   affirm truths  which
are complementary   to   what   the   original  idolaters/
heretics affirm.                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
