Still. Maybe some good can come out of it. I admire your psychotic optimism. - James S. A. Corey

The Nephesh community isn't the first religious or pseudo-religious group to decide that they get to choose whether the rules apply to them. Whether crimes are really crimes if one of their faithful is involved. The Catholic Church practically made raping altar boys into a brand. The Mormon/Boy Scout pedophile cover-up isn't covered up anymore. I'll stop there only because I don't have time to name every religion in existence and the shit they swept under their rugs in the name of Protecting the Faith. It seems like every time someone sets themselves up as a moral authority, it's to help bury the fact that they are doing something immoral.

Say what you will about organized crime, at least it’s organized.

The universe was tricky, and its sense of humor came with teeth.
