Business as usual, it seems.
"excessive capacity and urge to become identified with a tribe, nation, church or cause, and to espouse its credo uncritically and enthusiastically, even if its tenets are contrary to reason, devoid of self-interest and detrimental to the claims of self-preservation." -- Koestler
Good quote. Jesus Christ said something very similar to those who would make the above mistakes of trusting man's rules (including Koestler's apparent kind of self interest): "''They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.' And he said to them: 'You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"
