#1 Spot on. I have continually fought people who were this way and felt it was their "christian" duty to behave this way. What's interesting about this tidbit is that it casts the preachers who exploit and encourage this dependency as the "drug dealers" of the problem.

Dr. Jonathan Haidt's work on moral maturity is very much worth looking at, since it helped me to understand leftists of my acquaintance better. (Quick summary: there are five areas of morality that the professor identified and developed tests to measure how developed a person was in each area of morality. Self-identified leftists/liberals score very high in two of them, but very low in the other three, while self-identified conservatives score high in all five. He likened leftists/liberals as morally colorblind: able to "morally" see, but unable to see the full spectrum, and thus contemptuous of conservatives for factoring in moral qualifications that they (leftists) assert do not exist.)
