…for not being 100% pure and perfect. And still do get kicked. By us.

To those in this thread who now castigate them for not wanting to play the Savior role — again— I have to ask why they should.

Sure, sure I know what we say we want. But think of this: the last Savior ended up nailed to a cross on a hill, after the whole city celebrated him because they loved the guy so much.

Bitterly,
Hekate
