Re: on Indulgences

The Indulgences were not a scam ...

If I told you that something bad was going to happen to you unless you paid me $20 that would be extortion. How is that any different from selling indulgences?

Re: on Indulgences

If I believed it because of what you had told me then yes that would be extortion.

Re: on Indulgences

If it was because not just I told you but rather everyone told you would it still be extortion?

How is it extortion?

Just because it is a well established racket doesn't make it any less wrong.

If you offer relief from a hazard that you have created that is extortion.

Re: on Indulgences

So, in your opinion, it is more like a security company offering relief from you own pre-existing fears.
