"The grunge, corruption, immorality, and violence that critics like to call reality are not reality at all. They are blights on reality, as rust is a blight on metal, mold is a blight on food, and pond scum is a blight on water. The true reality is found beneath the blight and what God created in the beginning - the perfection of the world as he originally made it. Only the good that God created is real. We came along and added the corruption, evil, pain, decay, and death, which are not reality but contaminations of reality. To make the concept clearer, if you leave a hammer outside in the weather long enough, you will find its head completely covered with rust. None of the original metal will be invisible. If you value the hammer, you will not accept the rust as its true reality. The true reality is the metal beneath the rust. You will use oils and abrasives to clean away the rust and restore the hammer to its original condition - its true reality.
