    It’s because they broadly don’t care about legislation. They care about what was written in some book thousands of years ago and the dream that they could be rich and matter someday (most won’t).

      Yeah, the ones with power don’t care about that book. They’ll use it, but they don’t believe it. Look at their actions and compare them to what written in the book. They care about power and money, the book is just a useful weapon to keep their “lessers” in line.

        They like to skip the parts that suggest, you know, loving thy neighbor, or don’t idolize people/things, or don’t be greedy.

        You know, the stuff that doesn’t fill seats like some miracle child being born or dragging a cross through town or disappearing from his grave.
