There are two ways to judge things: As they are meant or intended to be and as they actually are. New York City as it is today is uninhabitable -at least for a sane person- but it's meant to be "The Capital of the World". Religions, as they are intended to be, are great for the most part, but today they're all pretty much contemptible. As is science nowadays. When ideals -whatever they are- are hijacked by a "prominent" few, especially for gain, the result is always the same.

When two people argue, more often than not, one argues the intent, the other, the content, of course, as they see it.
