Elitism means being connected—connected to sources of power or status. It also means being disconnect from powerless persons.

The underlying assumption is that a person's status can be enhanced by linking to persons who have status. And conversely, a persons status would be reduced by linking to persons without status.

The sin of it is that it isn't just an observation. Elitists turn hell over to make it happen. Powerless persons need to be degraded and destroyed to prevent them from influencing the status of elitists. It's the reason why homelessness was created and why Nazis set up death camps.

Elitism is not just a one-on-one relationship to other persons. It is image that determines status. So elitists want others to see that they are connected to power and status, and they don't want others to see them relating to nobodies.

Attitudes such as elitism (and bigotry, jealousy, nihilism, etc.) are subconscious. This means the persons who harbor such mentalities do not recognize them as the corruptions that they are. They assume that power is virtue, and therefore it is a virtue to build up the worthies. And they assume powerlessness is sin, and therefore it is a virtue to degrade powerless persons.

Elitists assume that it is a social responsibility for people do promote those standards. So they are very self-righteous in destroying the nobodies at the bottom of society. "Not in my back yard" means we deserve a medal for destroying the homeless. It doesn't mean move them out of the way a little; it means make them eat dirt.

Like all corruptions, elitism creates two standards. The worthies are built up and praised. They hug each other and drool over their pets. They go to the ends of the earth to prove their loyalty to each other. But they shout rape at the sight of unworthies in their environment, because they actually feel like they are getting raped by unworthies.

Corruptions are psychologically conditioned to function on a stimulus-response basis. This means that a large number of realities are acquired over time and oriented around the attitudes. Simply to contact the accumulated mass of realities and forces in the mind causes reactions to occur. Something really does happen, but it is in the minds of corrupt persons, and it is not rational.

Elitism requires purification of everything. In religion this means inerrancy and infallibility. The Holy Spirit supposedly purified Paul's theology and purifies the minds of fundamentalists. To maintain purity, elitists have to prevent their version of reality from being criticized by opponents. That’s why Christ said the truth must be buried in a hole in the ground—to maintain its purity—didn't he?

Here's what Christ said about it: "Make friends with this world's use of goods, so when they fail you, you will have friends in heaven (Luke 16:9).

Organized religions cannot remove the subconscious forces of corruption from minds, because the environments are not suitable. In fact they promote them inadvertently due to power and status.

Christ meticulously described a path which would overcome those corruptions. But he said it was a path which is hard to find and follow (Mat 7:14).

Religious authorities promote those corruptions, because worldliness, power and authority are reinforcements for the corruption. They also whitewash the sin, which requires corrupting the moral truth which Christ taught.

Power gives elitism its sanctimonious characteristics. Power is the positive reinforcement for the subconscious forces which create sin. As all positive reinforcements do, power becomes viewed as virtue. So acquiring positions of power seems to turn sin into virtue. It is the path which seems right but leads to death (Prov 14:12). Power makes sin seem right, while it destroys life.

Conversely, everything powerless persons do is viewed as sin by corrupted persons. That's why Christ described the remedy in terms of giving up power (Mat 19:21). Powerless persons become vulnerable, and vulnerable persons become victimized by sin. They then see the truth about sin. They also acquire a need to overcome sin by solving problems. The act of solving problems reverses the effects of sin and develops all moral characteristics, because all of morality, intelligence and constructivity is taxed in attempts to solve problems.

Notice that this path is also the means of promoting life, because promoting life is the same as morality. Also notice that solving problems is totally objective, which means something either works or doesn't work. In other words, the problems and answers are the same whether there is a God directing morality or not.

All God can do is provide assistance; he can't change what morality is. Corrupt persons try to change what morality is, and that is what makes them corrupt. When God gives commands, he is describing requirements that already exist, not creating them or changing them.

The proof of this is criminal codes, which even atheists accept, because they don't want to be victimized. No amount of saying otherwise is going to change what crime is. Of course, around the edges, a lot of perpetrators want to call their sin virtue, which is what elitism is.

The purpose of elitism is to acquire and control power. The power that elitists acquire is used to sanctify their own corruptions while condemning the persons below them.

Exaggerating the difference between the persons with status and those without is a conscious purpose of elitists. They exaggerate the differences by degrading vulnerable persons. The degradations including throwing obstacles in the path of vulnerable persons. They also include calumnizinig, scandalizing, vilifying, insulting, mocking and ridiculing lowly persons.

With elitism, the standard for the victims is projected onto the victims, as if the victims bring it onto themselves. The degraded conditions that the victims find themselves in is portrayed as evidence of their unworthiness. Status is portrayed as the proof in the pudding. Why would some persons have status unless they were more worthy?

The truth is that the victims are not the corrupted incompetents that elitists make them out to be. Instead, they are the persons who are less inclined to perpetrate sin to acquire power.

Christ described morality in such terms. He said the lowly victims of injustice are more worthy than the perpetrators. But everything he taught is replaced by humanly synthesized theology which says the opposite. It says that the corrupters who control power speak infallibly for God, and the gimmickry which they control replaces the need for moral truth.

Sin has a closed loop of logic with it which is self-feeding. The victims are lowly, vulnerable persons. Their appearance and environment is supposedly a result of their own sin. The sin against them is supposedly necessary and virtuous. But they react to it, which is threatening to the perpetrators. So the perpetrators need to subdue them, control them and force them to support the domination, exploitation, elitism and bigotry, not only calling it virtue but remolding their character in the pattern of their persecutors. The more the victims resist, the more worthy and necessary the sin against them. The victims are hated as supposedly being the cause of the problem.

That is why Christ taught morality not in terms of appearances and worthiness of elite and powerful persons with status but in terms of social justice for lowly and needy persons and loving enemies and doing good for persecutors. Only a refusal to return sin for sin can break the cycle of sin justifying more sin.
