And I know we’re mostly atheists here, but please keep the theological discussion to a minimum and appreciate the lighthearted hypothetical scenario for what it is.

    I spent an evening doing keyword searches in all the major holy texts one night just to gauge how violent they are and was definitely just thoroughly disgusted with all of them. I missed this excerpt, though. I guess I didn’t think about searching the word “smite”. Anyway… ugh.

    Honestly, screw all religion. It’s a nice thought to have a belief system of origin but humans are so stupidly violent and manipulative by nature that there’s no way to create something useful and wholesome. They all condone the whole “kill those you disagree with” bullshit, amongst other awful isms. So far, Sikhism is the least violent and sexist I can find of any religion.
