As the social situation deteriorates, it shows the underlying problem in all forms of sin. There are as many outward appearances of sin as there are sinners; but there are basic characteristics which are always the same.

The most underlying corruption that is observed across the board, from satan to the supposed givers of life in religion, is an improper relationship to objective reality. This may look like another abstract string of words, but it describes how billions of persons end up in hell and why the ones who get saved need to get saved from something.

So I must describe in some detail what this abstract string of words means. To restate the phrase, the problem is "an improper relationship to objective reality."

Objective reality is everything outside of a person's mind. It is what life consists of. You cannot defy it and live. Yet everyone from satan to the worldly do-gooders assume they can defy objective reality.

What is defying objective reality? It means that the reason why something is done is not because of something outside of a person's mind but because of something originating within the person's mind. Sin comes out of the mind (Mat 15:19)(Mk 7:21).

You might say that good comes out of the mind also. But there is a problem here. If it is good, it is good because of objective reality. If it is bad, it is in conflict with objective reality. Yet people who should know better are creating conflicts with objective reality as the supposed morality of God's work.

Everywhere in the world, conflicts with objective reality are being forced onto people as if it were virtue. The same is as true of atheists as God's supposed people.

What then is the nature of the conflicts with objective reality? It means harming someone for a noble purpose. The noble purposes are in conflict with objective reality. For example, people need food, clothes, shelter, etc. to live. Yet the supposed people of God strip people of any possible means of existence and claim it is God's work. There are far more subtle examples of the same thing, but only the crude results are easy to describe in a few sentences.

At this point most persons disagree. They say they aren't oppressing the needy; they give to charities. But they also destroyed the welfare system and make existence impossible for the nobodies at the bottom of society. The so-called homeless shelters are not fit for animals.

The problem with examples is that sin includes rationalizing. The minute specifics are mentioned, the rationalizing kicks in, and it has no relationship to objective reality. For example, the primary product of conservativism is a war against the lower classes; but to justify themselves, conservatives say they give to charities. The supposed charities that they give to are doing no more than exploiting the problems instead of correcting them. It's nothing resembling the path to life that Christ described.

Therefore, the truth has to be described in terms of basic and abstract principles. Satan taught people to reject abstract and basic knowledge including logic as some sort of corruption. He didn't have much trouble teaching people to do so, because there are forces inside of people that move in that direction.

Here's one of the basic principles involved. Instead of the objective requirements of life determining what people do, they allow forces and feel which come from inside of them to be the determining influence. Guess what. Satan determines the result of the forces and feel inside of people. He can determine whether something feels right or wrong. He has all of the corruptive influences inside of minds to work with, and he nurtures minds for his purposes. Anyone who is not aligned upon objective reality has been allowing satan to design their minds.

Christ described how to get out of the sin mode and into the path of life, except that satan also taught people how to make a mockery of everything he taught starting with Paul's theology. Paul rationalizes sin instead of describing the truth that Christ taught.

Satan teaches people that logic is a corruption, because it cannot be trusted. Since there are any number of incorrect logics and only one correct logic, people are easily convinced that the usual situation represents the subject, and logic cannot be trusted. Instead of determining which version of logic is correct, people learn to despise logic. The conflict with logic is a conflict with the objective reality which defines life.
