Makes sense... altough I'm sure it's a lot more "intersting" and "perverted fun" to think of yourself as "a better Chrisian" or "more godly" by losing yourself in Dogma and Ritual and noticing how others aren't as "holy" as you:

Tao Te Ching 38
When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is morality.
When morality is lost, there is ritual.
Ritual is the husk of true faith,
the beginning of chaos.

Therefore the Master concerns himself
with the depths and not the surface,
with the fruit and not the flower.
He has no will of his own.
He dwells in reality,
and lets all illusions go.

You can find the same teaching by Christ himself (in different words of course Greg!) without even looking... it's right on the lawn of the Church where I did some of my RCIA:

Imagine THAT!
