The Pull of Scrupulosity

It appears that my generation is experiencing an epidemic of scrupulosity. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, scrupulosity is a form of OCD that is primarily religious. Similar to normal OCD, there are obsessions and compulsions. But with scrupulosity, the obsessions and compulsions are religious. Unlike OCD, scrupulosity involves an intense moralism tied to those actions.
