The vermin explain their sin with sanctimonious language like, "We've prayed about it and sought counsel, and we feel it's the right thing to do." Don't let it down on them that to the Enemy what they feel is inconsequential. His moral laws don't give a rip about how any of them feel. The sludgebags have no more power to vote them in and out of existence than they have power to revoke the law of gravity.
The vermin in the story attempt to justify their misguided actions using pious language, claiming to have prayed and sought guidance, believing they are making the right choices. However, this self-righteousness blinds them to the truth that their feelings have no weight in the greater scheme of moral laws established by the Enemy. Their attempts at rationalization do not alter the fundamental truths that govern existence.
This highlights a stark contrast between their deluded self-importance and the unwavering nature of moral absolutes. Just as one cannot change the law of gravity, they are powerless to change the deeper truths that define right and wrong. Their perceptions do not hold authority, indicating a harsh reality that clashing with established moral laws results in consequences, regardless of their self-justifications.
