This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Buddhism's "Life sucks? Be nice and die and you'll get a better one" sucks but it's still better than "you should be nice to others, but that's too much to ask so go be as awful as you want and just regret it later and that'll be fine". But even that was better than whatever the fuck people are interpreting from religions these days.

Before Christianty it was also a lot of "killing people is just really fucking cool, actually", which even as an atheist I still admit was worse.

Not that Christians didn't.

But they made some sort-of-safe havens.

Then came the great religion of Arabian desert which made killing people cool again.
