Let’s say a hereditary theocracy that managed to heather a following that through religious contrarianism wants to reinforce its fraudulent dominion over its unfortunate and gullible followers and perpetuated the domination to their descendants. What do you suppose they would encourage their followers to believe:
A. they will be distinct and ineffably superior to their neighbors to the end of time so long as they keep themselves apart by following the strictures hoisted upon them by the theocracy
B. they would not remain distinct for much longer and soon they will be just like their neighbors who think the theocrats are just a bunch of overreaching hucksters.
