Be cool if we could convince them that there were a limited number of souls allowed in heaven (say, 144K) and it was to their benefit to steer other away from the righteous path to enhance their chances (of course that could be what they are doing now, for all I know).
Comment on My Religion
Signtist@bookwyr.me 3 days ago
The issue is that the vast majority of people don’t view religion as “what I should or shouldn’t do.” They view it as “what should and shouldn’t be done.” They can’t just follow the tenants themselves; in order to follow their religion - at least not the way they interpret it - they need to make sure the tenants are being universally followed. That’s why religion is always at odds with society as a whole unless that society is already overbearingly religious. It will never change unless there are no major groups within society with different beliefs than the norm.

Also with christianity, they’re literally instructed by their holy book to punish you the moment you heard about their god and you decide to not convert.

What about the landlords? Are they also universally followed?
