 Everybody Is Not Doing It
Dr. Johnson C. Philip
Dr. Saneesh Cherian

A new Mall opened in our town a few months ago. Soon after that a teenager from
another church called me for a consultation. During our chat he suddenly blurted
out that all the boys and girls in town have only one pastime -- to hang around in
this new Mall everyday.

I was taken aback by this universalist statement. Not because the statement was
morally evil, but because it is this kind of universal statements that have been used
effectively to break down moral boundaries. Thus, rather than brushing aside his
statement, I asked him whether he was sure of his statement, and he assured me
that it was so.

I then asked him how many young people could be accommodated in that Mall.
After a pause he said, a maximum of a few thousand people. Then I asked him how
many young people there were in this town of two million. He immediately got my
point, and kept mum. To ensure that he had understood his foolishness I asked him
whether he thought that all, or even one tenth, of the city's young population could
be there. He accepted that they could not be. I concluded the topic by asking him
whether the vast majority of young people were inside or outside the mall. He had
to accept the fact that the vast majority of the youngsters were outside the Mall --
though he had been implying that they were inside.

Universals somehow so much appeal to people that they keep using them, though

3
they are, in the majority of cases, wrong. Worse, they keep believing the universal
statements that they keep hearing every day, though they know that these
statements cannot be true. Unfortunately, the most malevolent people in society
know about this foolish human characteristic, know how to exploit it to destroy
society, and do so with a zeal that would surpass the most successful peddler of
snake-oil.

Since such a simple tool is being used by anti-social elements to destroy society,
several simple tools can be used to counter this spread of evil. However, a review of
how this tool of "Universalist Slogans" has been used in the past would be very
helpful.

The Role Of Boundaries

Boundaries play an important role in society. Roadside fences are a good example.
Wild animals are prone to stray on to highways in many places around the world.
Kangaroos stray in Australia, and camels in many Arabian Gulf countries. Fences
placed at selected points minimise casualties to animals as well as to people.
Similarly, moral and ethical boundaries protect people from moral and spiritual
damage. However, there is a key difference between fences and moral boundaries:
fences are made of physically visible materials of enough strength to restrain those
creatures that try to trespass. Moral boundaries, on the other hand, are invisible
and non-physical, and are not able to offer physical resistance. Even the smallest
damage done to a fence is clearly visible, whereas even major damages done to the
invisible and nonphysical moral boundaries are invisible.

Fences and walls are built one link or one brick at a time. Moral boundaries,
however, are laid down via words of instruction given by parents, teachers, pastors,
and law-abiding citizens. A mental picture gradually forms in the mind about what is

4
right and what is wrong and precisely where the boundary lies between these two.
The more efficient the instruction the better is the formation of the mental
boundaries. These in turn guide a person to choose some activities and reject
others.

Since words are the primary tools to establish mental boundaries, words can also be
used to do the opposite: to tear down the walls. What is more, since the moral
boundaries are nonphysical and invisible, harm done to them by words are also
invisible. Those opposed to objective moral values have known this for several
millennia, and have used this information in using words to attack the moral
foundations of individuals, societies, and even nations as a whole. To do so, they
have to convince everyone that the presumed boundaries no longer exist and that
everyone is doing once forbidden things because they are no longer forbidden.

Tactics Used to Convince People

People will generally indulge only in things that are considered socially acceptable.
Therefore those who want people to breach moral barriers, and indulge in
behaviour that is considered offensive, need to convince people that everyone is
doing it.

One of the tactics they use is to familiarise people in such a way with morally
objectionable topics that they begin to consider these topics as normal.

People always have a sense of hesitation talking about forbidden things. Even if
they discuss them, the feeling will be that of revulsion. However, if jokes,
official/technical jargon, stories etc. are used to discuss such topics people can be
made to talk on these subjects, and the shock-value can be reduced. Once that
stage is reached, the activity under consideration can be projected as normal

5
instead of being morally offensive. In this case, they have used convincing words to
reduce the gravity with which the human mind perceives a certain action. Once the
gravity is reduced, it becomes easy to breach the invisible moral barrier in human
minds.

Similarly, it is possible to present the same forbidden activity in a desirable manner

through verbal fantasy. Such activity can then be considered pleasurable, a mark of
manhood, or the mark of heroism. For example, in schools and college campuses
smoking is depicted as a mark of having ‘attained’ a certain level of maturity. There
is absolutely no mention of the ills of short or long-term smoking. The same thing
happens when they pass on vulgar jokes. A morally forbidden activity is presented
in a pleasurable way, reducing the revulsion and offensive feeling against that
activity.

Lying with people of the opposite sex is similarly projected as the mark of having
“arrived” at manhood or womanhood. In groups given to crime, the successful
engineering of the first crime is seen as passing of the crucial test for acceptance,
and then the number of feats one manages is depicted as a measure of
“professional” success. There is no mention (deliberately) of the moral aspects of
that activity.

What is (falsely) emphasised in all this is that “everyone” is doing it and therefore
he who does not do is the odd one out. The old expression “adding a feather to
one’s cap" is given new meaning, and the person who descends to the lowest moral
level is depicted as the person with the largest number of feathers in the cap. In all
these things there is a repeated emphasis that everyone is doing it, and he who
does not is the odd one, abnormal and not fit for acceptance by his/her peers.

It requires a good amount of knowledge and objectivity to analyse to come to

6
correct conclusions, particularly when many of one’s peers are shouting loudly that
everyone is doing it. It also requires a bit of insight into how they are using totally
distorted statistics to contrive evidence for themselves. We need to look at the way
these people use statistics to misguide generations.

Misusing Statistics To Contrive Evidence

Mathematics never speaks a lie. Statistics, the mathematical analysis of very large
groups, also does not lie. And that is why people respect numbers whether they
refer to the population of a nation or the outstanding balance shown in their bank-
passbooks. However, a determined person can so misuse numbers that people can
be totally misguided to believe in numbers that actually do not exist.

People who are interested in fighting against morality clearly understand the need
to use fabricated statistics to win people over to their calculations. They also
understand the power of fabricated data to impress the masses who have no easy
way to examine the fabrications.

Misuse of statistics with the aim of subverting moral values began around the time
when the modern printing press was invented. For the first time people had an
economical method to get printed material into people’s hands. Newspapers,
magazines and periodicals made an appearance. Soon the art of advertisement, to
seduce people to buy products, was invented.

The era of the printing press and the invention of advertising was also the era of
great rebellion against Christian moral values in Europe. The rebellion came from
thinkers who wanted total freedom from moral and ethical standards promoted by
the Protestant Reformation. It is this generation of rebels and radicals who invented
and formalised the art of contriving statistical data to manipulate the way people

7
thought and behaved. It has now reached such a high level of sophistication that it
requires careful analysis to discover the deception.

For example, from my childhood I have been hearing that two out of three
marriages in America end in divorce. This statement has become so common that I
was surprised when I visited the USA to discover what a big lie it was. If fully two
thirds of all marriages end up in divorce, then the whole country has to be full of
divorced people. But that is not the actual situation in the USA. While the number
of divorcees is high, they are still a minority when the total married population is
concerned. The three marriages versus two divorces is only a big farce, a statistical
scam created by people who would like to have easy divorce laws.

Here is how they fabricated this data. First of all they counted the number of people
that get married every year. Then they collected the data of the total number of
divorces per yar, not from those who got married in any one year, but from the
ENTIRE population. The entire population of the country is made up of people who
were married in the previous 70 to 80 years. This means that the divorce statistics
hasve been inflated at least by a figure of 70 to 80 times to arrive at the conclusion
that there are two divorces per three marriages every year. On the other hand, if
they check for only the marriages and divorces of couples that got married in a
given year, it would more likely show a figure like 5 divorces or less per 100
marriages per year.

Imagine the level of statistical manipulation that makes 5 per hundred into 70 per
hundred! The same is the story everywhere that anti-moralists fight against moral
values. This type of fabrication of data has been used to inflate figures by very large
factors to get results which are totally false, but which fits well with their mission:
first to change the way people think and then the way they act.

8
When people are given the impression that "everyone" is doing it, there is every
possibility that they will look at it with reduced alarm even if it is a morally
degenerate act. The shame, the embarrassment, the shock against that activity is
reduced. That is why the radical elements keep harping that “everyone” is doing it.

Surveys, Statistics and Moral Lies

Surveys are a common practice in the modern world. Researchers pick a
representative group, survey them, analyse the responses, and come to deductions
about how the larger group, which is represented by the smaller group that was
surveyed, will behave.

The job of a surveyor is therefore very similar to that of a food taster or wine taster
who tastes a very tiny sample, compared to the lot on which he prounounces his
verdict. In this case the tiny sample is such an accurate representation of the bulk
product that the deductions made on the basis of the sample apply accurately to
the entire lot.

The principle behind people-related surveys is the same. For example, a company
that wants to launch a new washing powder meant for use in urban households will
send surveyors to maybe 5000 urban households in five to ten cities. They will then
survey women about the packet-size, colour and price-range that are acceptable to
them. The data compiled from this then furnishes key insights into how the product
has to be packaged, priced, and even named to find wide acceptance among urban
households. The deductions are often so reliable that the survey of women in 5000
house holds will be sufficient to predict the response towards the soap for women
in 50 million households.

Since this kind of surveys have become very common, and since they yield results
so good that ventures worth billions can depend upon them, a trust of surveys and

9
their results has been built into modern man. It is a deep trust that will not fade
away easily.

As a result, most people never realise that at least some of the surveys, and their
results, thrown at them as "assured results" are absolute deceptions. For example,
almost all the surveys published worldwide on human sexual behaviour by social
magazines and popular books are based upon skewed data, totally biased samples,
or some such factor.

Consider, for example, a survey published in the early 1990’s in India that indicated
that fully one third of all married Indian men had sexual liaisons outside marriage.
The statement was then repeatedly mentioned by an endless number of social
magazines, so that within a month of publication of the original survey, it became
the talk among a large number of Indian families that marital infidelity had finally
arrived and has planted deep roots in Indian society.

What actually happened was something totally different from what was so widely
and confidently declared. At the time that this survey was conducted, India had
only one English pornographic magazine, and this survey was conducted by this
magazine among THEIR porn readership, and not among the common people and
not by any scientific team of researchers. This itself should have told people how
unreliable the survey was, and how much more unreliable their deductions were.

The actual story of the survey is much more shocking. Contrary to the well-
established practices of social surveys, this particular survey was not conducted on
a sample segment of the general Indian population, 80% of whom live in rural
societies. On the contrary, the survey was conducted among the readers of this
ENGLISH porn magazine in an India where sexual norms were still on high moral
ground.

10
Obviously, English-knowing people who regularly subscribe to and read a
pornographic magazine in a conservative country like India do not represent the
average Indian. On the other hand, they represent the most lecherous among the
population. Since these are English-literate people, again they do not represent
average Indians.

Of the 1000-million Indian population at the time of the survey, around 990-million
people were NOT represented by this sample. Yet the editors and writers falsely
claimed that their survey represented “the average Indian.” This is how the sex
promotion industry misrepresents statistics so that people might get the impression
that the entire country is made up of adulterous people, though in fact it is not.

The correct conclusion of the survey can be presented in this manner:

1. This is a survey of urban, English-literate Indians who are a microscopic

minority in India.
2. This English-literate minority contains a still smaller minority of lecherous
people who are given to reading pornographic material on a regular basis.
They do not represent even the average English-literate Indians, let alone
the rest of the Indian.
3. Among these people, there is a minority which is sufficiently uninhibited to
speak out on their sexual behaviour.
4. One third of this lecherous and uninhibited crowd indulges in extramarital
relations.
5. Thus there is some extramarital activity among the lecherous urbanites of
India, but this is not a common or widely-spread practice among average or
typical Indians.
6. Even among the professed lecherous Indian population, the majority

11
 restrict their sexual escapades to only print medium and a full 2/3rd of
them do not indulge in extramarital sex.

It is obvious that this survey does not apply to the general Indian society at all.
Attempts to make it seem so is an attempt to brainwash people into believing
something that is totally false. Contrary to the publicity given to this survey,
everybody is NOT doing it. Even among the professedly lecherous community, two
thirds of them are not doing it.

Surveys Worldwide
Objectively done surveys play a significant role worldwide in business, society,
education, etc. They bring to light information that can be used to create new
products, offer people greater security and comfort and help make society a better
place.

However, exactly like the Indian example cited above, the sex-industry worldwide
has been misusing statistics and presenting false interpretations to serve their
hidden agenda: they want to transform the whole world into a super-mega sex
shop. This is possible only when everyone becomes a sex-consumer, and that is why
they have been spreading the lie that ‘everyone’ is doing it.

There were some notable surveys of sexual behaviour in the nineteenfifties and
after by Masters and Johnson, Share Hite, and several others. These surveys made
such bold claims that people remember these names even after half a century.
However, most of these survey were worse than the Indian survey mentioned
earlier.

These surveys purported to represent the sexual behaviour of the average

American. However, rather than conduct these surveys among the average

12
American population, most of them were conducted among prisoners, sexual
deviants, prostitutes, and psychiatric patients. These are not only a microscopic
minority among the population, but also people with the most deviant sexual
behaviour and fantasies. It is the information elicited from these sexual and moral
deviants that was presented as "general" American sexual behaviour.

The lie behind these epoch -making surveys were eventually discovered and
exposed, but irreversible damage had already been done by that time. Based upon
a chain of lies, American society had already started believing falsely that everyone
is doing it. They changed the moral outlook of severasl generations to a more lax
one, ultimately ussering in the present sex-revolution.

Repeated researches have shown that publishers and news media in general tend
be more lax and radical in their thinking than the values of the society for which
they publish. Consequently, totally false sex surveys will go on being published, and
they will keep indoctrinating people, destroying the moral fiber of entire
generations.

Social Consequences of Mind-manipulation

The prejudiced and totally false sex-surveys mentioned earlier continue
manipulating the way people think. While only a minority indulges in deviant
behaviour, most people think that it is a majority behaviour. Then the majority who
are not partakers of such crime start thinking that they are an exception and a
minority -- though they are the majority and the normal people. Thus mind-
manipulation through false statistics has great power to confuse people’s thinking.
This, among others, results in the following consequences:

13
 1. A microscopic minority is perceived as a majority.
2. Deviant behaviour is projected as normal.
3. Thus deviant people can continue their immoral practices with greater ease
due to reduced pressure from the others.
4. The majority continues under the illusion that deviant people are the
majority. Thus they will not raise their voices against deviant behaviour, and
that ensures greater freedom to deviants to continue what they are doing.
5. The false impression helps the deviant crowd to attract and seduce the
fence-sitters to their side to gradually increase their number.
6. All of this sets up a vicious cycle against moral uprightness and in favour of
deviant behaviour.
7. This further helps the agenda of deviant people to project morally deviant
behaviour as normal, and normal moral behaviour as abnormal.

The more this kind of mind-manipulation remains unchallenged, the more they
succeed in intimidating straight-forward people. The more the straight-forward
people are forced into silence, the bigger the impact of the deviant campaign will
be. This is the way they have subdued many cultures, civilisations, and even entire
nations.

Even today morally-upright people are the majority in these nations, but inactivity
on their part has resulted in them losing their voice.

Everyone is NOT doing it. The next time someone makes this statement, do not
hesitate to challenge it firmly. This might start a chain of introspection that will
eventually save many from moral destruction.
