To me, a couple of the most outrageous notions that "the end justifies the means" have to do with the crucifixion of Jesus. Supposing that He actually existed, the idea that He died to "to save us from our sins" is a crazy justification for getting murdered. But it works. Christians took the Roman *End* (murder) and turned it into their own *Means* (control) for starting up a religion for their own *End* (generally money). Jesus’ death is a way for religion to “cover its End,” so to speak.
And then there was Adam and Eve (as the story goes), Adam in particular who "sinned" and fell from grace with the *End* result (booby prize) that “Adam fell that men might be." It's beyond laughable. And Eve gets no credit--just Adam.
All of this works well for religion.
