““I’d think one of the biggest differences between the two (other institutions vs. church) is the self-proclaimed superior morality via god. All this constant keying in on ‘everyone else is doing it too!!’ in order to keep the stank off your shit is hot mess that we do in the 3rd grade. Don’t tell me you have divine authority over every living being as an institution of higher power and then when I call you on your shit, all of a sudden you’re on the same moral level as everyone else.””
