Just now, sitting near me on the bus was a church youth group from the South, in town, according to their tote bags, key chains, etc., for
this. I've heard of religious people coming to the big city to purify the place, to cleanse their surroundings, but things went a bit further; they had with them a plastic bag filled with many containers of Lysol disinfecting wipes. What were these for? The bus itself could have used a good wipe-down...
I presume these individuals take frequent hand-disinfecting breaks after touching a subway handrail, after turning a bathroom doornob, after flushing, etc. The person whom they "follow" however was known to mingle with all types of people and lay hands on lepers, the poor, etc. Just one way in which they diverge from his teachings. -- JM
