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."
