It occurred to me the other day that Little Rik's problem really is his lack of imagination. He only permits himself to imagine certain things. Other thoughts are impermissible. His imagination is hobbled by the dogmatic crap he believes. He can't permit himself to step outside of it. That to him is the worst. The possibility that the things he's been fed are wrong. He is not permitted to be wrong about anything because of his dogmatic beliefs. We can risk being wrong about god. He cannot. His lack of imagination really is his defeat. You notice how he accuses us of all the things he's guilty of: dogma, lack of imagination, the corruption of religion. It's a defense mechanism against letting slip the possibility of doubt about his own beliefs. Everything bad that he says about others is just a mirror of his own faults.
