"No one passes the purity test. That's why we invented it: so no single person or group of people could ever galvanize a movement. As long as they needed a perfect leader, we were free to do what we wanted.

A venal sin disassembled their cause; meanwhile, we were literally robbing them blind and working their families to death without a care in the world.

Sin never once factored into our allegiances."
