looks like all religions use the same play book:
making shit up as they go along
retconning prophecies
twisted and contrived distortions of plainly worded scriptures that over time become embarrassing, dangerous or perverted
keeping an eye on the money
endless endless endless instances of passes given for reprehensible conduct in craven quid pro quo situations if the person fucking up is useful to the folks running the religion
selective enforcement of scriptures
