substituted a fallacious system of behavioral guidelines as
the basis of "goodness." The "god of this world" (II Cor.
4:4) has blinded the minds of men to keep them from

cement loyalty and conformity, and to keep the guilt
payments coming in. As people perceive their inability to
please and appease God by their inadequate moral
behavior, they seek to buy off their sin in "indulgences."
