A really big sin eater.

Which pushes us close to religion as a topic, which is
verboten, but I can't resist abutting the issue by
pointing out that many belief systems include ways of
getting others to voluntarily take responsibility for
the weaknesses of the faithful - the ones that come to
mind immediately are the Jewish custom of getting
gentiles to work for them on the sabbath and to take
control over I think it's called chametz on Passover
and the Buddhist custom of patronizing nonbelieving
butchers (as the sin of killing has already been
committed by someone else, and what a pity it would be
to waste all that lovely meat).

No, but I've eaten them.

I've seen that!
