The way that seems right but leads to death (Prov 14:12)
 

The false way is obviously a summary of the problem which sin creates. But if it is described in totally abstract terms, it still seems right, because sin destroys abstract understanding. So the purpose with this self-righteous diatribe is to describe the path of sin in less abstract terms.

Back in Christ's time, parables were used heavily to convert abstract complexities into more tangible realities. Nowdays, analogies are used for this purpose. So I'll try an analogy. Say you are on a road and see a problem which demands action. Perhaps a tree fell across the road, and it needs to be removed. Sin causes the problem and answer to look slightly different. The tree might look like an oversized banana, and the task might seem to be to eat it. The problem was misinterpreted, as was the solution. Sin does that to everything in life. It causes people to see the problems and answers in skewed terms. Of course, sin must be understood to be a force of corruption inside the mind.

Now the task is to connect the analogy to the abstract principles. For this, I'll dramatize the subconscious thought patterns and try to bring the subconscious out into the open. Sin begins with the assumption that domination (same as control) is the answer to everything, and power is the gold and the oil which greases the machine. This is what makes the tree look like a banana. Domination and power are not constructive, even though they are assumed to be necessary.

Next we view the task at hand. A problem calls for an objective analysis through rationality to align the result on the unified reality which makes up life. But sin creates a hate for objective reality and rationality, and it calls for degradation instead of constructivity.

Another angle is to try to represent the thought patterns of corruption and move them out of the dark corners of the mind and into the open. Where there is less corruption, these thought patterns are barely noticeable below the level of awareness, but where there is extreme corruption, the corrupt thoughts become ideology which is developed in an almost open way.

The subconscious forces of corruption tell corrupt persons that the only responsible way to do anything is through domination or control, which in turn requires intimidation, lying and nihilism, while bigotry and elitism are add-ons which seem to go with the other corruptions. And since all of these corruptions are supposedly necessary and virtuous, the real virtues must be corruptions.

The real virtues of truth and justice are always promoted by powerless persons who have nothing to gain from corruption, since corruption has the purpose of mongering power. Therefore, corrupters are led to falsely assume that the virtues of truth and justice are really just "cheap shots," as the usual terminology goes. Corrupters tell themselves that simple-minded nobodies at the bottom of society, who don't have complex responsibilities, can reduce everything to over-simplified and self-righteous criticism. They assume that so-called truth is nothing but over-simplified criticism, and it doesn't work where there are complexities and social responsibilities.

In this complex analysis, it is important to keep looking back at the starting point. The path which seems right and leads to death is to assume that truth is nothing but cheap criticism by nobodies who have no complex responsibilities. This is why oppressors can be so self-righteous in fighting a war against the lower classes. Truth always does come from the bottom of society.

When corruption gets extreme, the war against truth and justice gets extreme, and it becomes more visible; so there is somewhat of a realization that it is in fact truth and justice that are on the other side; but those virtues are supposedly evil being forced onto people due to false philosophy or values.

It's at this level that Paul's theology is consciously used to destroy everything Christ taught and represented. Paul's theology was meticulously designed in satan's pit for the purpose of destroying the truth which Christ taught. Satan has millions or billions of researchers who comb through every word of their issues evaluating it's total implications. And they look through time while going back and making modifications to bolster their arguments. And they use the same major gimmicks in each cycle of the universe, refining them infinitely.

This refinement and purpose is visible in Paul's theology. Every word is refined to counter moral truth, while a context is designed for justifying the purpose. The context is made of vagaries, which allows the meaning to be varied for each purpose. One minute, it can be used to convince the old ladies that the purpose is to feed the widows and orphans; and then the same material can be used to justify a destruction of the lower classes. Satan's work is designed for multiple interpretations; and this is exactly why material life was needed to overcome sin—it stabilizes realities, so they can be unified.
