Huh. Surprisingly I liked this chapter better in pure text form. Probably due to too many real life political/religion BS, every time I see someone speak raising two hands into the air like that, I feel the urge to punch them.
@Nep I didn't read the text version but I do agree that from the way she is shown she comes off as fake as shit.
I can't really point out why, though. Maybe it's the raised hands, maybe it's the exaggerated movements or maybe it's just how the scene was depicted buy while reading I couldn't help to think that everyone present would need to be pretty dumb to fall for such transparent and cheap sophistry.
