Truth! Under-girding, the entire ridiculous notion is the overriding anxiety “What if the [insert authority figure here] is wrong or even evil?” What is conspicuously absent in that anxiety is the corollary notion “What if I am wrong or even evil?” The anxiety unintentionally displays an intense intellectual/practical pride: “I can trust me, but I’m not so sure about God-given authority figures.” To which I respond,“Gimmie a break! Do you even know you?”
