If you confidently believed that something was really good and pure and would bring the ultimate fulfillment, wouldn't you want to follow it?
The method of delivery is also important, IMO. A feudal system or dictatorship being necessary makes me question if the result will be as good as is being claimed.
Im not sure what you mean about dictatorship being necessary? I've never heard of it that way before in all my years being christian.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
