    It’s always wild to me when adult human beings without any obvious brain damage start talking about what a made up deity may or may not be in favor of.

      The sum of all human endeavor can be summed up in a fun little madlib:

      My (god, penis, wealth) will (kill, fuck, buy) your (genetics, wife, life).

      Feel free to swap things around as needed.

      Agreed, but it does make sense from an evolutionary/anthropological perspective. The thing to keep in mind is: it’s perfectly rational for a person to act irrationally if it improves their survivability.

      If your king declares that the country is now Catholic, and anyone who believes otherwise will be executed, then the people who survive are gonna be devout Catholics.

      Rational Irrationality is real.
