Domineering-Leaders keep those who are seduced/tricked in the dark about what is being done and why it is being done. Those who are seduced/tricked are highly favored by the Domineering-Leaders who are in positions of great authority. Those who are being seduced/tricked are led to believe that they deserve their good fortunes for reasons which only God can know for sure. They are taught that God rewards the righteous people and Domineering-Leaders favor them greatly; leaving them to draw their own conclusions. The people who are seduced/tricked are left in the dark about the motivations of the Domineering-Leaders. The Domineering-Leaders want those who are seduced-tricked to believe that they are righteous and rewarded by God; so that in the future they will stand read to defend what God has given to them as being their own to possess and control. They are not told that what was given to them was stolen from the widows, orphans, homeless, sick, thirsty, and oppressed neighbors who are kept out of sight. The Domineering-People are Essentially-Domineering. They worship the Technocracies-of-Domination and the Concentrations-of-Powers-and-Wealth that the Technocracies-of-Domination can accomplish for them and for their Complicit-Supporters. Once the Complicit-Supporters have been rewarded "By-God" they are beholden to the Domineering-People who put them In-Touch-With-God; and stand ready to defend what has been given to them by the Domineering-Leaders who turned them in to Complicit-Supporters of Righteous-Domination and of the Myth-of-Redemptive-Violence which is kept hidden. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
