      There are some probable-tragic-consequences
       of insisting that there are some things
        which it will be good-for-people-to-do ---
         because they will be pleasing to God ---
          even if no people ever know about
           those things-which-are-done
            and no people ever-benefit-in-any-way
             from those-things-being-done.

      The above is true because of the following:

      1.  There  is  no  reliable way of knowing just what 
will be pleasing to God,  and what will be displeasing  to 
God.    It  is arrogant for any person to presume to  know 
that much  about God, and it is idolatrous to put ultimate 
trust/concern  in  any means for knowing that  much  about 
God. 

      2.  Only   fools   will  trust   arrogant/idolatrous
religious  leaders  who are presumptuous in claiming  that
they know what God's Will is. Concentrating power into the
hands  of such leaders and fools who support them --- will
lead  to  tragic consequences for  all  who  are  involved
directly and/or indirectly.

      3.  Accepting  the original premise  above ---  will
lead to  people  being willing to  disconnect   themselves
from   their   own  experiences,     observations,     and
discernments  of  the  consequences  of  their  decisions,
thoughts and actions.  Being  so  disconnected  makes  the
thus  alienated  persons  vulnerable  to   domination  by:
Faithful-Servants   of  The-Domination-System, The-Fallen-
Powers-That-Be,     The-Addictive-Organization, and Lords-
Playing-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception      with
their  disciples.   The  disconnected people  will  become
increasingly   unable    to   learn   from   their     own
experiences  ---  and so become increasingly vulnerable to
domination, etc.     Responding to domination with efforts
to  be  dominant will not make you more secure  ---    and
certainly being dominant will  not make you  invulnerable.
Think!  Be aware and beware!

      4.  Thoughtlessly  trusting that  "God-will-provide"
and "God-will-solve-your-problems"  and "God-will-resolve-
your-dilemmas" is likely to lead to being irresponsible in
failing to take care  of  yourself and being irresponsible
in  failing to take care of those  who  are dependent upon
you.   God is not responsible for taking care of competent
people  who  fail  to take care of  themselves  and  their
dependents!   Nobody gave God that responsibility!  Beware
of  believing  that  domineering  people  gave  God   that
responsibility!    What kind of "god" would accept such an
assignment?   Beware of domineering religious leaders  who
implicitly   say   that   they   have given   to  God  the
responsibility  for taking care of your heart, mind,  body
and soul!
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
