Kenny's first conversation was with a priest.
If the people in my congregation were without sin, there would be no need for them to come to church
"You'd be out of a job then, wouldn't you? So it is in your best interests to make them believe they are sinful."
"But they are sinful! They cheat on their taxes, hide leftover prescription drugs under their mattresses, and go to domestic terrorism sites online regularly."
"Those are not sins, those are laws and regulations. Different."
"To not pay taxes is theft, to hide prescription drugs is to covet, and to visit terrorism sites is to murder."
"That's insane young man. You make up sins to enslave me to your ideology. I will not comply."
"Archibald was a great friend. Archibald believed all this rot of yours. You and your sins made him question his value as a human being; he left us by his own hand because of your made up sins. He couldn't bear being a sinful man another moment. You killed him. That makes you a murderer, a domestic terrorist not recognized by the government as such."
Kenny's next conversation was with a doctor.
"If everyone were healthy, they would have no need of doctors, and you'd be out of a job. It is in your best interests to make your patients sick, not well. The best way to make them sick is to inject them with toxins, bypassing the body's natural defenses against toxins. Have you ever actually cured anyone?"
"We cure cancer all the time! Just ask Heather out there in the waiting room. She's the one all shriveled up, in the wheelchair, with an oxygen tank and IV tubes."
Kenny's third conversation was with an FDA inspector.
"A half-empty bottle of ketchup in your pantry has expired. You have broken the law by not throwing it away by the expiration date, thereby endangering others. You are under arrest, and this government mandated gun (we can conceal carry them, but you can't) in my holster says you have no choice in the matter. Come along with me. Are you up to date on your vaccines? That will determine where I take you. Have you had flu, DTap, pneumococcal, covid #9, monkeypox #6, polio #4, measles #3, shingles #2, HPV #2, and rabies recently? If not, you'll go to the infirmary first for all those before I can send you into the company of others. Show me your vaccination report on your phone."
I don't have a cell phone.
