Amorality is responsible for the most heinous crimes against humanity. The Nazis knew of no reason not to experiment on their victims, who they referred to as worthless eaters. Torture in the prisons is similar. If it works, it works, the rationale says.

Amoral persons assume that all conflicts are a struggle for resources, and secondarily, an attempt to acquire power to control resources. The more there is of yours, the less there is of mine, they assume. So why should others get it instead of me. I'm always more worthy and qualified.

There's more to it than that. The purpose here is to describe the missing element called morality and why it matters. Why morality matters can be placed in two categories. One, what happens to the perpetrators; and two, what happens to the victims.

The perpetrators of sin must deny, conceal and justify the sin. If not, it's not sin. This need is an effective criteria for determining where sin lies. It means, perpetrators judge themselves. Even though God is said to judge sin, he only looks at what sinners did to themselves, past tense.

Even if no one does anything about sin, the perpetrators eat themselves up inside trying to make the guilt go away, while it doesn't go away. The guilt of sin can never go away, because it defines the sinner. It says that that is what the person does under those circumstances. He won't do something other than that unless he redefines himself. Redefining oneself morally is repentance. It's not something corrupt persons generally do.

Corrupt persons don't care about a moral analysis. They assume they are above the consequences of their sin. They assume they can sin and get by with it. That assumption is as stupid as assuming they can take heroin without getting addicted.

Next, consider the victims. There aint one victim of sin who gives a damn how much aluminum his persecutor owns. The victims just want to not be destroyed by brainless persons. The victims of sin are not fighting over the control of resources.

The perpetrators assume there is nothing else to fight over but resources, unless there is some insanity involved. The last part is what they are right about, except the insanity is in their own heads, not the heads of the victims. The insanity creates the real motives for sin, which include domination, bigotry, elitism, selfishness and jealousy.

Perpetrators of sin assume they couldn't possibly be jealous of their victims, because victims must always be powerless relative to the perpetrators. But in fact, jealousy can only look downward, not upward. Downward is life which is threatening to brainless corrupters. Upward is power which they want to attach to. In fact, there are more signs of life when looking downward, because powerless persons are driven to solve problems, which directs them in constructive ways. To see life in powerless persons tells corrupters that there will be competition for resources and power. So they stomp out life to protect their exploits and power.

Isn't it true that powerless persons will use up more resources when successful in life? Is it a question of population control? If it were really a question of resources, there would be a more realistic attempt to conserve them. But they are squandered during wars and after wars, because the real conflict is over control of persons, not control of resources.

It means wars are fought over subconscious forces in the heads of corrupt persons, not resources. Those forces destroy the perpetrators, unless they repent. The more sin they perpetrate, the more enemies they create; and then a secondary set of forces develop causing them to oppose all truth, knowledge and constructivity. The spiral of destruction never ends unless the perpetrators repent.

There is a degree of corruption which uses conflict as a tool to justify that which would not normally be justifiable. This motive was very obvious in the Nazis. The kids in Nazi Germany marched after school in preparation for war for a decade before they knew who they were going to fight. Since Belgium, France and Poland were such push-overs, sights were set on England. Since England was to hard to defeat, the enemy changed to Russia. In other words, the Nazis were fishing around for an enemy to fight, so they could use the war as a justification for their genocidal standards.

This need for conflict is also seen at the personal level. The most corrupt persons will synthesize conflict, often working together, so they can justify their sin as being a necessary part of the conflict.

The need for conflict shows that patterns of corruption develop in minds. It's not objective necessity that creates conflicts.
