All you have to do is whatever I say
forever regardless of whether or not the direct or peripheral effect of doing that is
bad and regardless of the outcome...
A muffin "The
church can save this country!"
Hym "Then why is it not doing that?"
A muffin "Uh... Well, you'
re not doing what I say
forever."
Hym "Right, but if you believe that then you should just be doing that anyway, right? Like, you could save the country... But you're not doing it so..."
A muffin "Withholding aid and resources as punishment for non-compliance is part of the religion I'
m doing to you."
Hym "Yeah, ok, so it can'
t save the country... It's harming the country by withholding aid (arbitrarily) and you're offering to
STOP DOING THE THING YOU'RE DOING... In exchange for
forever-compliance?"
A muffin "Correct."
Hym "So, you're not saving the country. You're destroying the country until everyome does what you want?"
A muffin "Correct... BUT! I COULD be saving it instead... But I'm not going to unless you fuck your sister."
