Well, lets not be hasty, we haven't even heard what kinds of prizes we can buy with all our tickets.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If spirituality requires brokenness, then it's a force for evil rather than good.

Well, I can tell you that since venerating my object of worship, my dreams are now often outrageously fucked up and sensual, to the point where I really look forward to going to sleep each night. That almost never happened while I was a practicing Catholic.

I've got a wife for that. No ticket system though.

It's not hard to argue that some types of god beliefs might be utilitarian goods. That's pretty much how religion as a social phenomena is explained.

How is something being more evil than good not a bad thing?

Alot of really draconian beliefs premise themselves on the unruliness or fallen nature of man. Essentially claiming that whatever system they have in mind is either what man deserves or what needs to be done to counter human evil.

How is something being more evil than good not a bad thing? People who don't mind being evil will benefit from it. It won't be good for everyone.

I don’t think I’ve met a legit maltheist in all of the years I’ve been on the site. Interesting take. Is there any particular reason to go with base evil and greed over utilitarian goods or necessary evil?
