Such thoughtless acceptance and honor often leads to tragic idolatry in which the commandments are worshipped as if they were gods --- rather than being regarded as as reasonable, logical, integrative guidelines for healthy living. Personal and communal integrity decline when powerful idolaters who worship particular commandments regard themselves as appointed by their gods to enforce the commandments of their gods. Because of their ultimate loyalty to their gods --- such idolaters are inclined to obey what they regard as the commandments of their gods and seek to enforce the commandments of their gods--- regardless of how great the costs may be in the loss of personal and communal integrity. Such idolaters often become extremists who excommunicate themselves from balanced people who seek to be peacemakers, healers, and liberators of people imprisoned by collusive games of mutual self deception, addictions, and patterns of codependent service.
