    Everyone is selfish, molloch isn’t real,
    it’s a thinking pattern that everyone is subject to
    my friends admitted to using credit cards because
    “at least they get rewards”
    by personifying the behaviour pattern
    you can demonize it
    without calling your friends “greedy selfish bastards”
    It is much easier to see it and understanding
    that way than if you’re being attacked
    and then become defensive about it

      the point of communication is the exchange of ideas.

      packaging those ideas in incomprehensible biblical fluffery is counterintuitive if you’re goal is communication.

      but ok, whatever, have a good one
