In the specific case of this twelver bullshit and "deceivers"......very few people act out or on the truth of their religious ideology. MK doesn't do what a convinced, committed, and rational person would do confronted with demon locks or demons (suspend your disbelief, lol).
In a perceptual reality where an absolute state holds divine right of kingship over all of mankind, and where demons are holding influence over men...and where some men are themselves, in truth, the demonic influence....having exhausted all of your magical cantrips and mantras to no effect.... what is the next logical, compassionate, and morally upright step...to the problem of all the demons in the world, running the states of earth, suppressing the goodness of your own hidden prince, and doing untold evil upon your fellow man in the process?
This is the truly subversive effect of this type of religious ideology. Setting up a situation where a good person begins to consider the unthinkable.
Absolutely. It's amazing to me how each religious person doesn't notice that every other religion uses basically the same arguments as them to try and magicallify their books and dogma. I feel like if I'd been raised religious, this is the fact that would have shaken me out of it. But it's hard to know how different my thinking patterns would be if I was stifled as a kid and fed dogshit instead of encouraged to think critically.
