God's Command
“This proclamation comes directly from the Holy One himself, God’s Chosen, the Prophet of Ages. God speaks to him, and we humbly listen - amen. We pray to make a fair and ordered society, but human nature binds us to the ways of the earth. We are forgiving of errors because we understand their source. We understand that covetry and greed are human instincts, instincts we share with lowly animals. We understand that these instincts come from our bodies, at the cost of our souls. We understand because we are like you. However, a mild sin propagated for too long turns into a dangerous vice. We take small steps to aid the body in adjusting to the humble heavenly order we’ve established on earth. Therefore, today, by official proclamation and God's command, we forbid the coveting of Aquinian lockets. We know some among our great town possess Aquinian lockets. There are only a small number of these lockets left on earth. Their beauty lures us, and demands we hold them private and dear. But this is a sin. A desire of the body. Like all desires of the body, we must suppress it and supplicate ourselves. We, with the power invested in us by the Holy One, request that any and all Aquinian lockets be brought to the Great Temple by Noon.”
