Quote of the Day
Almost wish I could be a Christian: the idea of an angry Jesus dealing with these filthy motherfuckers just delights the hell out of me.

Having someone else to blame for the bad things, having someone else to depend on for the things beyond your own reach, having a form of "justice" to believe in, regardless of the power or prestige of the person you think needs to be taken to task, these ideas are addictive drugs to individuals who are not entirely secure in their own minds.
It takes a level of maturity to accept that the universe is arbitrary, a level that few people are ever challenged to reach.
Because it means one must accept and take responsibility for the crap in one's own life.
