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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah that's always been the point of religion. They needed some way to control people in the 1400s, so they told them that if they didn't do what they were told, and incidentally pay the church a lot of money, then the big man in the sky would be unhappy. That was about the level of sophistication that a con required back then.
Even as recently as 200 years ago pastors didn't really believe in god, it was just a convenient job to do if you were relatively well off but still needed employment, and didn't want to do any laboring. That's why a lot of them ended up being scientists, they were rich and bored.
