The sense of security of the members of a collusive culture is threatened by any communication which acknowledges the legitimacy of any experience which calls into question any of the fundamental assumptions upon which the culture is based. Given the power of personal experience and experimentation, the only way a collusive culture can survive is to inhibit personal experience and experimentation which might challenge a collusive culture's fundamental presuppositions; or isolate any member of the culture who breaks the bonds of taboo and has mysterious experiences which call the presuppositions into question in a fundamental way. In order to protect the appearance of integrity, superficial challenges to presuppositions must be encouraged and tolerated, for such challenges will make it appear that the presuppositions can stand up to critical examination. At another level it is essential that the challenges not be granted sufficient respect for the members of the culture to take them seriously. The counter-culture which raises such challenges to the taboos which protect the collusions must be alienated, Freedoms of press, speech, assembly, petition, and representation must not be granted to persons who violate taboos without acknowledging the legitimacy of the taboos. It is another matter if they "confess" their "sins" and ask for "forgiveness". Part of the process of protecting collusions is the confusion of the nature of confession and forgiveness in the process of reconciliation of people who have experience alienation. Such confusion is advanced by collusions which make it taboo to experience and share genuine confessions and forgiveness Pseudo confessions and forgiveness of "sins" are substituted for authentic confessions and forgiveness.
