Well to be fair, the pope survived the attempts against all odds and apparently the popes think the armored vehicle is unnecessary but their security details won’t let them go out without it.
I think you also have to consider the risk you put other people in if you’re an easy target. If people that want to kill you think they have a chance they’re more likely to try and things like shooting into crowded areas or detonating explosives are a big risk to innocent bystanders.

But that means more tickets to heaven, so if that’s the concern, it’s a scam.

Given the Christian worldview, it would be a logical idea to have a designated executioner who sends people to heaven at a particular moment when they’re deemed to have a pure heart and absolved of all their past sins. The executioner would be sinning, sure, but only for the sake of ensuring as much people as possible get to receive eternal salvation.
However, natural selection is a stronger force than logic when it comes to decide which religions survive, and a religion that accepted this consequence would get wiped out pretty fast.
Are you suggesting Christians should designate one very special guy to place the burden of all of their sins on so that they can confidently attain eternal salvation?
