this is from C.S.LEWIS Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience... In reality, however, we must face the possibility of bad rulers armed with a Humanitarian theory of punishment.. We know that one school of psychology already regards religion as a neurosis. When this particular neurosis becomes inconvenient to government, what is to hinder government from proceeding to cure it? Such a cure will of course be compulsory; but under Humanitarian theory it will not be called by the shocking name of persecution.
