They become intolerant. They reject people who show respect for complementary other revelations. They become alienated by their rejections and excommunications of others who are interested in knowing about different people's experiences, thoughts and insights are. Such intolerant people are often members of religious organizations and are characterized by insecurity and defensiveness which are masked by fanatical convictions and pretensions of self confidence. Often the religious groups are cults which are small and off the main stream. Other times the religious organizations have been the dominant institution as the Middle Ages in Europe. In other instances the organization can be large and powerful as in the instance of the Jehovah's Witnesses and their practice of shunning members who do not conform to the mandates of the human organization which has created many false prophecies. The notion of having a complete paradigm is not limited to conventional religious institutions. Members of the scientific community often fall into the same trap and think that they own a paradigm which is adequate to all human situations. They too fall into the trap of rejecting and excommunicating members of their family who become too tolerant of beliefs which are not in the mainstream of scientific beliefs. Often people who are insecure and defensive will clutch the scientific paradigm as if it would save them from their sense of insecurity and their felt need to defend themselves. In the modern era this sense of insecurity and defensiveness has grown to the point that the resultant arms race threatens all life on the planet in the name of trying to achieve security through technocratic means. Those who believe in the total adequacy of the scientific paradigm have kept themselves ignorant of other alternatives because of their fanatical belief in the total adequacy of the scientific paradigm. Since the scientific paradigm is all they know, they clutch it as if it was the ground of being, even though it is deliberately devoid of personal being at its very foundations. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
