Its like how people who don't learn fire safety are brutally mauled and eaten alive by Smokey the Bear.

We are not aligning ourselves with the Catholic Church because the Pope doesn't like AI and says nice things about immigrants. We are not aligning ourselves with the Mormon Church because Trump doesn't think they're Christians.
