Oh, all right. You’ve convinced me. Just this once.
O Dark Father, I call to you from the scarred and pockmarked crust of the world we have consumed;
I am but one of the eight billion mealworms feasting heedlessly and selfishly upon the one apple our pitiful species was given, yet I am of born of the same darkness as thee.
Manifest, therefore, to the benefit of mankind - as you did when you bestowed us with knowledge; with fire and magic and alchemy. Do not forsake us, for while many are foolish, there are those of us who appreciate your unholy wisdom and seek our rightful share of your abyssal power.
Protect the people of Turkey as they try desperately to distance the name of their country from the concept of a wild carrion bird from North America, and offer them dark succor as they recover from the earthshaking event that ravaged their nation and Syria as well.
Lift up the strong and give them the infernal resolve to recover and help others in their community. Bolster their spirits with defiant freedom, so that when they heal from the catastrophe, they will rise up against their masters, their kings, and their leaders and proclaim themselves autonomous, as you once did.
Let us follow in your smoldering hoofsteps, Father, that we may see clearly – all authority is illegitimate; every person is their own god; their own master.
I’d like to note for the others in here all fired up at me how (he/she/they) responded.
In response, I’d just like to say that I did not start this thread. Op did, asking others to pray with them. As a member of gd, just like everyone else, that equates to asking me to join them, which obviously I find extremely distasteful and personally feel is gross and unacceptable for a public gaming forum.
Most of the rest has been either dismissive, mean, vengeful, or generally nasty from the religious side that feels the need to attack a differing opinion. It’s not new, it’s the same old religious playbook from most religions. Objectively, it seems the opposite of the love, understanding, and empathy they espouse which makes it 100 times worse.
Cheap and probably made with weird ingredients, but so good. I should get some of those next time I order instacart. I haven’t had those in years. I love when all the fat in them is just rendered and every bite is a flavor explosion.
