Since they share the view of several ancient Greek philosophers ([[wikipedia:Plato|Plato]], [[wikipedia:Protagoras|Protagoras]] and [[wikipedia:Socrates|Socrates]]) that this is the cause of all evil. And that sins such as those mentioned by [[wikipedia:Christianity|Christianity]], in reality, stem from a deep ignorance, therefore, the only way to truly eliminate them is to put an end to it. | For the followers of ''Minerva Omniscius'', there is only one sin as such, and that is ignorance.
