Or even better, which god is the real one? Each wants you to believe in them or their pantheon to the exclusivity of all others; therefore by picking ANY you're hedging the odds against eternal damnation.
However, taking the idea that One of those gods might exist, you'd still pick one randomly and worship it to your utmost, again hedging your bets- It's just made the whole argument a lot slimmer (Until there appears a god of atheism).

Personally: "I'd rather donate my money than blow it in a casino."

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

This quote seems like it's gotten way far away from what it was supposed to be... Should I lock it or just let it run freely on its own?

You cant lock the quote. Where will we post our stupid then?

You could rename it "Stupid quotes you dreamed up thread"

Only the people that use the quotes will decide if it's stupid or deep insight. In the end, sometimes the best quotes come from a storm of thought.

I''m not sure this is a storm of thought as much as monkeys with a typewriter.

It could be both. The monkey's with a typewriter is more of a pure accident, while you get people reading other quotes kinda morph something into a great quote.

Also, I do have a theory that kinda aligns with quotes. It sort of goes with the right people showing up at the right time in history.

"In many of my observations (and in turn, some experiences), I tend to wonder; who is the stronger being? The one who delivers abuse, and forces someone into (many) a situation against their consent, or the one who endures it all (in lieu of said abuser)?" --Itnetlolor

Or abridged: "Who is stronger? The slaver or the slave?" --Itnetlolor

For context, I've seen some shows and movies where the, often bullied, victim ends up doing something suicidally crazy/stupid, and oftentimes, against their will (ordered/dared/blackmailed by said bully/"superior"/"Alpha"), and you never see the bully ever go through the same ordeal; or even just outright Karma Houdinis, and they (the bully) brags as if they're more hardcore (from mob bosses to schoolyard jackasses). Now, if only the victim realized this hidden truth, they could take on said bully in a heartbeat, and their lack of confidence (or enduring good will; or hell, legal action) is the only thing holding them back from killing/returning the favor to said bully.
