1: First, disregard any facts which might contradict the process applications of Assumption 4.1.
2: Generalize, generalize, generalize. "All (fill in the blank) are wrong/deceived/lazy" is a good place to start in laying out the code, but if step three below fails, you might have to revert to "All who do/don't (fill in the blank) will not have as strong a walk as I do" or if all else fails, "All (fill in the blank) are possessed and need deliverance." Whatever you do in this most important step, make it apply to everyone aside from yourself and those who agree with you.
Now you are almost ready to run Assumption 4.1.
3: Find a Scriptural "prooftext" so your personalized edition of Assumption 4.1 sounds nice and spiritual, not like the personal dislike it most often is. If you can't find one immediately, just read into or twist a passage until it screams. A thin veil of Scripture will do most of the time.
While running Assumption 4.1. . .
4: If someone dares to challenge Assumption 4.1's validity or usefulness, forget the words "mercy" and "reason," and instead launch a series of: ad hominem attacks, personal or collective slanders, apocryphal or rare allegations of all manner of evils, and the ever popular refusal to listen to the opposing viewpoint. After all, you might even lose Assumption 4.1 if it is shown to be completely worthless. It does take up a lot of space.
5: If you wish to delete Assumption 4.1 due to the problems that it causes relationally, logically, and in many other systems, you have a long road ahead. As this is not most concerned with deletion but with installation, I can only offer a few tips.
Prayer, forgiveness, realizing that only Jesus is perfect, only considering sinful that which is listed as such in the Bible, and remembering that personal conviction is just that-personal conviction, is a good way to start removing Assumption 4.1.
Once again, I am much better at installing it than removing it.
