Which do you think is worse?

@Nanori 🤷‍♂️corrupt is corrupt really but the fact you come over pious but deep down have other agendas then that is low

I'd say the hypocrisy is probably worse

The mask is even more offending to me.

The question you need to pose this against is Pope Benedict was the FAUX religious PILE OF SHIT, and PUTIN is the openly Corrupt person, WHICH of those men would you want to drown in a bath tub?

The ones wearing a mask.

Religion is corrupt. I don’t even care about other comparatives. Religion directly causes wars all over the world. Nothing is worse than the wholesale murder caused by religion.

I feel like my answer would take me 3 pages of writing.. So I'm just going to smile and wave instead...

Of course the one openly corrupt...
Since the first one is just redistributing wealth in society...

The former, at least the latter has the decency of showing who they really are

Which one are you? Whatever one that is then ...

"Villainy wears many masks, but none so dangerous as the mask of virtue."

-Unknown.

Yes!

I can’t stand hypocrisy so

Are there degrees of corruption then?

The first one

Covert is [i]much[/i] worse than overt.

hiding it but being corrupt

Obviously the first one

They are both bad but I am going to say the person putting on an innocent religious mask because they are being even more malicious in their intentions.

trying to conceal the corruption and further deceive others is worse ... the deception is another layer of offense
