    The best thing about christianity is that it’s exploitable by anyone, even non-christians!

    I’m mostly joking but there’s truth to the idea that most religions are pretty easy to take advantage of. Marx saw religion as an indicator of immiseration in his opiate of the masses quote but the sad truth of most religions is that the more accurately/fundamentally they’re followed by their adherents the more evil the acts committed by those adherents in its name, except for the ones that don’t really have a strict dogma to follow.

    Judaism/Islam/Christianity, if followed to the letter, would have their followers kill so many people for silly reasons, the overwhelming majority just honestly don’t follow them that closely because most people have an intuitive understanding of morals and ethics that these religions essentially try to override if followed too closely.
