      The whole line was spoken by the arch-cop during an interrogation. Sometimes I wonder if that scene is an unintentional political Rorschach Test.

      I think it is just Christianity making people hate humanity but also love and extoll all of its virtues so thqt they can simeltaeneously be a martyr and a misanthrope.

          Modern mainstream Christianity (in the USA at least) is very pro-capitalist. There are some other parallels I’ve noticed, such as the rise of mega churches.
