"What you do at the pulpit would be considered lunatic behaviour on the street," suggests that actions accepted in a spiritual or religious context may be seen as bizarre or inappropriate in normal social settings. The author emphasizes that causing fear or making others feel insignificant is harmful and unjustifiable outside of church or religious environments. Such behavior could have serious negative impacts on people's mental well-being.

The quote underscores that imposing blame or creating fear through such actions can lead to suffering and despair, as reflected in the line, "You will never walk down a street and feel a lightness come over you." It highlights the contrast between spiritual authority and everyday life, implying that true freedom and peace are unlikely if one uses intimidation or shame as tools of influence."
