%DEDICATION TO SINFUL VALUES 810801
Sinful values are positive values which insist upon
the use of sin; i.e., alienation, as a tool for the
advancement of their aims. People who are dedicated to
sinful values go beyond negligence as regards being in
dialogue; they make commitments to reject and
excommunicate people who fail to conform to their
definition of good behavior. Such "good" people commit
themselves to using sin as a means to motivate others to
conform to legalistic codes of conduct. Since most people
fear rejection and excommunication, they quite often yield
to the threats of such "good" sinners; i.e., promoters of
alienation as a means to conformity.
In the field of international diplomacy it is common
for a nation such as the United States to refuse to be in
communication with another nation such as Communist China,
Communist Cuba, or the Palestine Liberation Organization.
In these instances the diplomats have been dedicated to
the resistance of the advance of Communism and to the
promotion of the survival of the Jewish Nation State.
Alienation between themselves and those who seek to
promote conflicting positive values is used as a futile
tool in the service of these lesser values. The
alienation, the sin, undermines the positive values it is
chosen to serve. As a tool, sin tends to destroy that
which it is intended to serve.
In the field of domestic family relationships it is
common for parents to threaten to reject their children
and to excommunicate them if they stray too far from the
conformal lifestyle of the parents; and when the children
stray a bit too far, the parents force them to stray all
the way away. Sin is used to try to prevent straying, and
in the end forces more extreme straying than the children
sought.
In the field of education teachers often use sin to
try to force students to conform to their own academic set
of values; and wise students often figure out that values
which lead academics to use sin as a tool, are values
which do not merit respect.
