Do not be conformed to this world

Denominational,evangelical and charismatic Christians all do an inner translation of this phrase: Do not be conformed to this world.
After their mental processing it drops out the other end like sausages from a mincer like this: Do not be conformed to the Tree of the knowledge of Evil, but accept the Tree of the Knowledge of Good.
Which ofcourse this verse doesn't mean at all.
They do something similar with " Henceforth we view no man after the flesh"...this is twisted to mean....henceforth, even while viewing a person in the middle of doing something off the Tree of the Knowledge of Evil, we will now imagine him or her perfectly capable of doing something off the Good end of the Tree.
The socalled spiritual examples in the world today, the Pope, the Dalai Lama and the Queen, are all people who call the world back to the Tree of Good and away from the Evil end of the Tree. But they never tell people to change Trees. That in the end is what gives them away.
