This is a heuristic at best, but Ive learned to be skeptical of moral/ethical stances that allow their holder to have their cake and eat it too.
Notable examples include:
- divine providence and it’s relation to material success
- business shouldn’t concern itself with ethics
- charitable donations are best treated as a business investment
I admit to being surprised that anyone truly, deeply believes any of this. They just ooze of starting from the desired conclusion and working backwards.
