Then you have failed to take into account the very real posibility that the author himself is either deluded or downright lying. Pretty much everyone is at one point or another.

Sufffice it to say, malicious censors are the very LEAST of the problems with that approach.

If you wish to blindly follow another's philosophy, you will do much better following me. Here: I believe everyone must give me lots of money or else they are guilty of crimes against humanity and must die.
