I don't know if the game designer was trying to make some kind of hilariously cynical theological point, or if they were trying to trap children in an endless Jesus loop so the Sunday school teacher could slip out back and smoke up with the priest.

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
