      Yes but he can/is using religion to get what could otherwise be good people to do evil things.

      I say could be otherwise good because once you’re doing evil…well, evil is as evil does.

      And what is it that rotted Hegseth’s mind, so that from an early age he failed to learn critical thinking, and instead learned to “go with what feels good”, to accept moral decisions being made by Someone With Greater Authority, to have firm beliefs based on no fucking evidence?

      Hegseth was not “born evil” – he didn’t start murdering his preschool classmates. He learned to stop thinking, to just take orders, to abdicate responsibility … which are what makes him evil.
