Could it be elevating make believe to the level of fact? Could it be having a “get out of jail free” card in your back pocket, a card that permits the offender to decide when they are forgiven for their crimes, rather than their victims having that say? Is it the thousands of Xian sects that each have their own twist on the make believe, allowing people to cherry pick whatever version of Xianity best meshes with their pre-existing beliefs and behaviors? Is it all of the above?
