The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I think what he means is that for some people, it's easier and more practical/sensible to give such loyalty and devotion to a physical entity than it is to a god. Every civil war England ever had that involved a pretender to the throne involved people loyal to both camps. I'm willing to bet their followers' loyalties lay more with the person and their position/power/money than their supposed divine connection.

Sure, it may be easier. Doesn't mean that it's smarter, though.

Hey, we haven't had that many civil wars. Just, like, a few.....

Well, that's my point. It's hardly religion or the invisible monkey that you should be looking at. It's human nature, in general. The idea that weither or not God's existence can be proven is important because people kill each other in the name of God strikes me as odd, because people are divided and kill each other over everything, the majority of which are only important or relevent in our lives because people make them relevent or important.

Which one?

I thought you guys only had the one, really big civil war.

Ah yes, I remember that one now. Don't know why I've never read that one twice?

Hey, does anyone ever remember being taught about the Quasi-War? Like a dozen history classes and hundreds of documentaries and television shows, and I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned.

Well go on, you're missing the fantastapotamus. She only sings twice a day.

I think that this is the point where I need to mention "The Invention of Lying."

So I have.

Alright, I've seen the movie now and it's pretty good.

Good for your first class high-ended privately funded education. You probably also go to zoos featuring animals we've never heard of.

And our mascot is the fantastapotamus.

One of these statements is a lie.

You are straight. One of these statements is true.

Wow I just read what I wrote. Talk about an insult gone wrong.
