| Donuts. We will need lots of fresh donuts when we are allowed to gather again. |
How is this going to work? said Green, the fresh young graduate of pastoral training.
Have you learned nothing? We preach and teach the Word, and the Gospel spreads.
No one else does that. They build beautiful temples with grand altars and smoking incense. They have glorious robes and practice solemn ceremonies with priests having special titles.
That is no argument. Did we fail to teach you the efficacy of the Word?
And there are other religions that attract people with their riotous orgies, dancing girls, and special potions. I interviewed people at the market, and they all knew about those religions. They asked "Preach and teach the Word? Nobody does that. Nobody, just a few Jews from a new sect."
Our numbers are not the issue. The revealed truth is the message.
I don't have to be an aqueduct engineer to figure this out. The vast majority find ways to attract and please people. They gather large sums of gold to build and beautify their temples and the places for initiations. We are strictly low-rent, using spare rooms in the catacombs, coffins for tables.
Green, you are a young tree, full of sap.

| The majority wins. Everyone follow me, both of you. |
