      Domineering religious leaders have often behaved  as
if human "salvation"  depended upon successfully doing the
following:

      1.  Believing   that  there  could  be  integrative-
redemptive-violence in the-mutually-assured-destruction of
about   10 hydrogen bombs exploded over each major city in
the world.

      2.  Believing   that  there  could  be  integrative-
redemptive-violence   in believing in the Bible's  reports
of "miracles"  which deny the integrity of open and honest
scientific descriptions of  the  coherence demonstrated by
God's Natural Processes within the Objective Realms of the
Cosmos.

      3.  Believing  that  it is God's  Will  that  humans
regularly  just-say-no to the natural-instincts which  God
game     them     in    regards    to    the     potential
integrity/integrations of  open  and honest healthy sexual
relationships.

      4.  Being  dishonest-in-church-services --- so as to
be faithful to church  teachings about  "proper"  beliefs,
doctrines and rituals.

      5.  Believing  that  human-salvation  depends   upon
individualistic/narcisstic beliefs and behaviors --- apart
from  open-and-honest  cooperative/communal  actions   and
relationships.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
