I cannot believe Trask slapped her. A man of God indeed.
I for one was very satisfied with Dorcas getting eaten.
A+ For that TWIT Dorcas getting eaten!!
Some of us expect religious hypocrisy, in fact some over-react against all religion because of the hypocrisy they've encountered, unfortunately. Trask(s) was a very important figure in my formation as a person. Large as life (larger actually) there he was, the authority figure who portrayed himself as saintly and unimpeachable, impossible and immoral to disobey... and he's a bastard! Trask may as well have been wearing a placard saying "Question authority"!
So we accept easily that a fire-and-brimstone preacher could be that way, but the sensible ones amongst us doubters don't blame religion itself for people like that.
As for Dorcas, you yoinked a big LOL out of me with "I for one was very satisfied with Dorcas getting eaten."! I just saw this, and missed the body parts-- do I want to go back to look for them? Mmmaybe not.
