I never was any good at healing anything " and my job was doing the opposite, and I admit I'm pretty good at it. Always have been."

Scientific facts are ignored or dismissed as being 'a liberal agenda' or 'merely propaganda'."
"Isn't lying supposed to be a 'sin'? Or is it okay to lie when trying to make people you hate look bad?"
