[The sinful think^group believes it has the light.  If it gains sovereign power, this think^group addresses all subjects as either think^{group_is_light} or think^{enemy_is_darkness}.   Think^{group_is_light} hates think^{enemy_is_darkness}, even though it cannot really tell friend from foe. Think^{group_is_light} denies the consequences of its own (sinful) actions.

Any person of virtue who points out the horrid consequences of think^{group_is_light} is branded as a person who adheres to the malevolent world view of think^{enemy_is_darkness}.  That person becomes a “scapegoat”, an object for hatred.

Think^{group_is_light} rejects the possibility that any alleged “person of virtue” has the capacity to witness to the law^essential that they themselves deny.  Consequently, the prophet is condemned because she does have the proper intelligence, standing, sophistication or credentials.  It is impossible for her to witness to what she plainly sees.

John’s pithy view of “what sin is” points to the core of these issues: The only moral religious perspective where the appearance of law^essential corresponds to its substance is think^divine.

Law^acceptance and think^divine complement one another.

That is why sin is infidelity and hatred against the light, which is Christ. ]
