New idea on an old theme

What if you ideology consists of you taking a divine hold on a culture and programming it to respond to a way of life. Then suddenly they're in control of a whole culture or society and your beliefs, which aren't supposed to interfere with your decisions, ultimately do. Say you think the rapture is upon us and in your eyes the best place to be is in heaven with your GOD. Yet your god doesn't believe that suicide is alright so you don't get a free pass. What do you do instead...How about you destroy the world around us that would be the most logical path to a cloud nap.

Or say that your political party is known as the party of less governmental control and the party that allows the working man to make his own mistakes. You create policy that reinforces that idea by passing laws that loosen governmental control but only in a round-a-bout way. Because these same policies hand out large government contracts to your political friends in support of supporting you. Then these friends receive tax breaks, cut salaries, and outsource to save money$$. So know you have a working class who's unable to afford the goods you sell and who is taxed by a government that gives it's taxes to itself.

Pretty cool way of doing business I assume so long as your at the top of the pile:)
