[At the time of Jesus, the Jewish sovereigninfra religion was focused on ritual purity. “Ritual purity” was “the objective that brought all individuals into organization”.
The Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes constituted a sovereigninfra religion that dictated which buttons fit the buttonhole of ritual purity.
To the extent that they achieved sovereign power, all other factions were declared to be “without buttonholes or buttons”.
If anyone claimed to have an alternate, the Pharisees stigmatized them. The offenders adhered to false doctrines (projected thinkimpure) and harbored evil intents (conscienceimpure).]
