You’d think that being a “man of god” would bring a heavier sentence.
There should be a hypocrite addendum. It’s 10-20 years, plus 30% for being a hypocrite.
God is a very useful shield for terrible people. They act any way they want, and their religion helps excuse/forgive the behavior. You can see its utility in things like rape, and genocide in today’s world.
Christofascists don’t belong in society.
