To be honest even though I'm Christian, I get anxiety from thinking about this stuff. People say you can believe whatever you want but once you get the bigger picture it's not so simple. Like one of the rules says you must believe in God or else you're going to hell. And my Mom doesn't believe christianity but I don't want her to go to hell, I know she's a good person, she doesn't deserve that.

I guess whatever floats your boat really.

I myself am content with atheism so such religious thoughts about hell or whatnot don't even concern me. Pretty nice now that I think about it.

That's why Karl Marx called it the opium of the masses.

Yeah, sure, I'm not gonna argue that church never screwed people over using religion as a brainwashing tool

[Local Trouble]

Have you ever considered becoming a monk?

[Kradan]

Me ? Nope. Why ?

So you can spend all day, every day chanting to the God-Emperor of Mankind.  Like this...
