If sin were a globally distributed problem where:
1. the aggregate amount of sin in the world caused suffering
2. indulgences actually reduced the aggregate amount of sin in the world
then the indulgence system would make perfect sense. I agree there are problems with offsets and many of them aren't credible, but this indulgences metaphor has never made sense to me.
