satisfy

[GUEST2008]

Hi

Many young people in the church today believe it is not wrong
to lie to a parent if you have a good reason. They think it is all
right to cheat on an examination to get a better grade. They
think it is all right to steal if the other person has more than you
do. But you say, “Can they not see how wrong they are or how
much pain they cause?” No, most of them cannot.
They think that if they have a reason that satisfies them, then
anything they want to do is all right. That way of thinking, though,
leads them to believe wrong choices are right ones. They accept

the false truth and think they are getting the real truth.

--- Does it mean: They think that if they have a reason which they feel is good, then anything they want to do is all right.
