    I sacrifice C:\Windows\System32 to you, old noodly one! 🗑️ Bless me with the computing power to pwn my enemies in CS2, see them driven before me on Twitch, and hear the Lamentations of their simps.

    There will never be anything more illustrative of the limits of human intellect than the fact that a master logician famously argued that:

    I ought to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that rewards doing XYZ

    …and did not immediately think:

    I ought not to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that punishes doing XYZ

    If you don’t believe, and you’re wrong, you’ll spend eternity in hell being tormented by the will of our all-loving and omnipotent lord. So, you should beleive to be safe. And give us your money.

    Oh wait, that’s Christianity.

    The popemobile has bulletproof glass. If the Goddamn POPE doesn’t believe, why should anyone else?

    I don’t need to. I KNOW the emperor of mankind will launch a glorious crusade to purge the Xenos and claim humanity’s birthright among the stars. Which means we need to triple our science funding yesterday if we’re going to have black hole cannons.

      Your faith is lacking slag. The God Emperor of All Mankind is already here leading Mankind to glory over the xenos and has been for millennia. He has chosen to not reveal himself to us yet. Accelerating our approach to the age of strife is blasphemy. What if we build the black hole cannons too early and they’ve degraded too much when the Adeptus Mechanicus excavate them. Have faith in the God Emperor’s plan slag and rejoice in your duty.

          Huh, I was unaware of this church. I hope you realize that we were role playing characters from a table top board game gone super franchise titled Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. As far as I’m aware, the Warhammer franchise is not associated in any way with the Columbus, Ohio Christian Xenos Church. That’s why I included terms like Adeptus Mechanics which is pulled directly from the franchise.

            Oh yeah I know. It’s a humorous coincidence, at least to me. Warhammer seems pretty cool. I don’t have the bandwidth or storage space, money, or time to really get into it.

            I did try eisenhorn unlimited. Couldn’t get into it.

    I’m usually worshipping Rigatoni instead, spaghetti are just too basic for me. Sometimes also Fusilli.

    I believe the pasta heaven is very much like the old Greek and Roman gods: more of a large family than just a single lonely individual.

    Because what if the lasagna monster is the real one and really hates people worshipping the spaghetti monster and subjects anyone who worships it to eternal damnation?
