Are you proposing that as a reason to continue the present practices?

That sounds a lot like R. Grise's rationalization for smoking - "I'm
going to die anyway".

Actually, that's not a rationalization - it's merely a statement of fact.

I smoke because I like it - but Free Will seems to be a concept that's
foreign to the cultists, who seem to believe that abject blind obedience
will buy them a ticket to heaven, or some such fantasy.
