What is the point here?
The point is the afterlife. The point is to be qualified for the communion with god. Everlasting life. The point is to prepare, to study and believe. To tithe into the church's coffers, assent to the church's control of all aspects of life as dictated by the priests. The point is to pay and obey.
The point is to guarantee your seat in eternity as another human clone in the choir.
The fact that this scheme doesn't work is just incidental to the size of the coffers.
