I grew up in the Catholic faith and went to Catholic school and even 8-year-old me did not buy this whole "you were born and therefore you are a sinner" scam. These suckers must have really smooth brains.

In the Middle Ages, priests used to make tons of money by selling "indulgences" to people, basically it's an OK to sin, provided you pay the "indulgence" to the priest.

Look up the origin of the word and you'll see this is where the word came from.

Carbon credits are the modern indulgences.
