I'm ashamed that you're a Wiganer.

TBF there is widespread support in religions for the fatalistic notion that nothing, at all, ever happens unless god wills it.
Which, if later today I win a small fortune off the bookies at Cheltenham, and then go out and get totally wasted, is strangely pleasing.

Then there's the ones who attribute the good stuff that happens to God, and the bad stuff to Satan. I know who they would think was responsible for your decadent afternoon.

Marriage is older than monotheism, never mind the fscking church. Don't let them hijack the narrative with this "marriage belongs to us" bullshit. No. It. Doesn't.

What is it with these religious freaks that makes them think any of us need saving?
