What is the word when someone considers any questioning of their view to be a moral failing or blindness of the questioner?
I'm thinking of a bottom up, community driven acceptance of a view or analytical model. I can think of a few examples in the current public conversation but I don't want to name them for fear of politicising the question.
'Dogma' may just be the word, but perhaps'dogma' suggests a 'Truth' mandated by locus of power rather than the crowd wisdom I have in mind. An example of dogma would be the biblical creation story where it is held to be true through reverence for its source.
