Thoughts on Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.3F2

[Hypocrisy follows a roundabout pathway to denial.

The hypocrite engages in transgressions.  These transgressions can be described on the moral religious axis as thinkgroup3(sin2(consciencelacking1)).  The hypocritice does not proselytize ‘his’ thinkgroup.

Why?

‘His’ thinkgroup is parasitic to a sovereign that thinkdivine has empowered.  The hypocrite does not pay the price for ‘his’ actions and directs resources to ‘himself’.]

As the consequences of the transgressions (of hypocrites) become more and more apparent, the sovereign may face a choice.  The sovereign may recognize that the hypocrites saps ‘his’ ability to maintain sovereign functions or ‘he’ may fail to recognize what is happening.  Either way, members of a parasitic thinkgroup will insist that they are not responsible.

Moreover, they will insist that the cause of the problems cannot be understood as lawessential3(transgressions2(dispositions1)). Thus, the denial of lawessential underlies hypocrisy.]
