Meet sarcasm. It's a form of wit. Apparently.

No, they misuse the direction so badly as to oppose it. It's how far you'll go to oppose the truth.

To me, the execution of an idea that only exists because of religion ("Faith can do things!") and wouldn't be an issue without it is a religious failing. It's also a human failing, given that humans are involved and humans invented religion, but I have literally zero interest in jumping through semantic hoops in service of arguing a position you'll never even consider.
A result being the opposite of the direction in your mind can still be the cause of the direction. Murder is the result of the state outlawing murder. Yeah, semantics
