Virus
A false belief system that obscures reality and oppresses the understanding of understanding. A bad or corrupt judicial decision that becomes precedent. It is a piece of bullshit that infects the Tree of Knowledge and fools people into believing in things that are not real. A virus is more than just bad information. It is bad information that spreads throughout the Tree of Knowledge and acts like an infection causing people to come to the wrong conclusion based on bad information.

The concept of a Virus goes beyond mere mistake. It generally involves the deliberate dissemination of false information in order to deliberately obscure reality and cause society to make decisions that favor the selfish interests of the virus spreader rather than the good of society as a whole. This kind of activity is a sin against the Tree of Knowledge. We live in a society where some individuals who put their own interests ahead of the common good use viruses to steal at the expense of truth and honesty.

The Church of Reality - through its research into the Science of Deception and the raising of the importance of reality in society has, as one of its goals, to be able to immunizes the Tree of Knowledge from these viruses of the mind and to identify bullshit and to label it as bullshit. The Church of Reality commits itself to the task of being an anti-virus and using its resources to counter the efforts of those who use lies and deception. We fight misunderstanding with understanding in order to move in the Sacred Direction.
