Claiming to Speak for God

The World That Isn't Real

Leaders who claim to speak for God hold the strongest shield of all.

Once you say your authority comes from God, you cannot admit mistakes anymore.

Mistakes become "tests," "mysteries," or "attacks."

Anything but human error.

And if you cannot admit error, you cannot learn.

That is why movements built on this claim become brittle.

They look strong, but they cannot bend.

And anything that cannot bend eventually breaks.
