      The  FLAWS of the myth-of-redemptive-perfection  are
CONNECTED to the FLAWS of the myth-of-redemptive-violence.

      Domineering  people who CANNOT-BE-HONEST  about  the
myth-of-redemptive-perfection, CANNOT-BE-HONEST about  the
myth-of-redemptive-violence --- AND VICE-VERSA!

      Domineering  people  who CANNOT-BE-HONEST about  the
myth-of-redemptive-violence, CANNOT-BE-HONEST  about   the
myth-of-redemptive-perfection --- AND VICE-VERSA!

      BOTH myths include FLAWS of DISHONEST-COLLUSIONS:

      Pretending to achieve PERFECTION LEADS to tragedies.

      Pretending to achieve PERFECT-OBEDIENCE is tragic.

      Pretending to achieve PERFECT-CONTROL is tragic.

      Pretending to achieve PERFECT-DOMINATION is tragic.

      Pretending to BE-GOOD-THROUGH-DOMINATION is tragic.

      Pretending to MAKE-GOOD-within-DOMINATION is tragic.

      Pretending to BE-GOOD-THROUGH-COERCION is tragic.

      Pretending to MAKE-GOOD-THROUGH-COERCION is tragic.

      Pretending to LABEL-EVIL-PEOPLE rightly is tragic.

      Pretending to LABEL-GOOD-PEOPLE rightly is tragic.

      Pretending to AVOID-ALL-TRAGEDIES is tragic.

      Pretending to be  SPECIAL; close to GOD is tragic.

      Pretending to be PERFECTED-IN-GREAT-POWER is tragic.

      Pretending to CONCENTRATE-POWER-PEFECTLY is tragic.

      Corruptions flow from GREAT-CONCENTRATIONS-OF-POWER.

      Corruptions flow from "GREAT-PERFECTIONS-OF-POWERS".

      The "Powers-That-Be" are neither Perfect nor Godly.

      Neither PERFECTION or DOMINATION yield sweet fruits.

      Neither PERFECTION or DOMINATION mitigate any devil.

      Neither PERFECTION or DOMINATION mitigates any evil.

      Both-Myths lack integrity in similar fallen ways.

      PERFECTION   and  DOMINATION  are  both   ostensible
technocratic   means   by  which  to  achieve  unilateral-
invulnerability ---  but they and other technocratic-means
cannot  lead  anybody  toward  ANY-FORM  of  personal   or
communal integrity ---  because all technocratic means are
founded   upon  the  false-premise  that  some   form   of
technology can be the-technical-means by which to  "solve"
a human-dilemma which is NOT-A-TECHNICAL-PROBLEM.

      Both-Myths   Lack-Integrity   in similar ways.

      TECHNOCRATS "hope" that through BEING-PERFECT and/or
through BEING-DOMINANT they can BE-INVULNERABLE and so BE-
ETERNALLY-SECURE in  unilateral  ways ---  with  all costs
deflected  to those who are thereby  left  VULNERABLE-and-
INSECURE; e.g., the poor, thirsty, hungry, homeless, sick,
dis-eased, powerless,  imperfect,  flawed, fallen, sinful,
rejected,   excluded,   excommunicated,   in-hell;   while
PERFECT-BEINGS and/or DOMINANT-BEINGS persist eternally in
heaven  next  to  their  DOMINANT-GOD'S-SEAT-OF-POWER-AND-
PERFECTION.

      In   its  most  extreme  forms  these  beliefs   are
"perfected"   in  the beliefs,  convictions and  hopes  of
people who expect to be "RAPTURED"  into "HEAVEN"  just as
all forms of earthly-integrity  are  dis-integrated in the
ultimately  destructive processes of ARMAGEDDON;   perhaps
sped  along  by the DOMINANT assistance of  the  Military-
Industrial-Complex  ---   driven/guided    by  profitable-
multinational-corporations   and  their  dominant   Chief-
Executive-Officers who have concentrated wealth and  power
perfectly  and   without  corruption into their own  well-
washed hands ---  steering their well-washed gasoline-hogs
down well-washed-highways into  the  capitals and capitols
of international-powers --- while the poor-nations race to
get   into   the  disintegrative  arms-races   which   are
"essential" to their own achievement of perfect-dominance.
