Heretical behavior emphasizes one isolated aspect of a paradox and represses the complementary aspect of the paradox. Peck also suggests that blasphemy entails dishonest behavior which purports to be in relationship with God--- when in fact the behavior entails alienation from God. The name of God and/or what God presumably stands for are used dishonestly within the context of manipulatively calling upon the name of God and/or what God presumably stands for---doing so for self-centered and/or selfish reasons. No amount of rationalization can transform such dishonesty into a virtue. Such blasphemy never merits respect or support---no matter how powerful/respected are those who engage in it.
