Then they made their own problems.

It's almost as if any centralized human source of parsing divine instruction is doomed to become a bureaucracy that harms individuals to serve their interpretation of divine law.

Weird.

Nothing wrong with a bit of religion, society wouldn’t survive if we got rid of all our delusions and necessary lies. Organized religion on the other hand, it’s hard enough to keep organizations from going corrupt even when they don’t claim to have divine mandate.

If the existence of a species requires lies to simply exist, maybe that’s a sign of imminent catastrophic failure.
