Re: Christian Discernment on Real Conspiracy, Corruption, Greed, Agendas, etc.
O.K., how's this?
If some people realize from a young age that certain answers got them recognized, and lauded and accepted as 'good',
and these same types went through school and college using their brains to say and perform what was acceptable to the local constituencies that surrounded them.
And they ended up being in a place of great power because of it, because of their acquiescence to the perceived norms of the day.
Would that make them culpable of being a part of some grand conspiracy?
Or were they just doing what was right for them?
In other words, if a person stands for the perceived social norms without a moral anchor of their own; would they be righteous?
Or, depending on the polls, would they be like a feather in the wind?
What would make these types of souls do what was right?
In their view, righteousness is in the public eye that beholds them.
How is this different than a sociopath?
Who needs a conspiracy if groups of people who think like this are congregated at the highest echelons of power?
If they have been taught there is no final judge(creator), and therefore no recourse for their actions, what is stopping the best at portraying a form of righteousness from becoming our leaders?
It is not so much a conspiracy then is it?
