Well, money is a figment of peoples' imagination, too. We just tend to find it a useful fiction so enough of us agree to it.
'Sin' being a crime against god, it's only useful among those who agree that there is a god.
I hear people saying, some people are saying, I mean, lots of people are saying this thing. I don't know if I believe it, I don't know if I have to believe it.
But you know, people have said it, and people have insisted on saying it, insisted that it's true, it's whatever. It's their truth. That doesn't make it the big truth. People can say, people are saying that Trump is chosen by God to run this nation, people can say all kinds of shit, you know? Absolute shit, and I don't feel any great need to respect this shit just because they said it, or are saying it, and if they truly feel that what they believe is what they say, that really doesn't make it any less shit, you know?
They can believe shit and they can say shit and we have free speech so I kinda, I dunno, I gotta respect their right to say shit, but I dunno why, you know, what it would be that makes me respect the shit they're saying, just because they went to the effort to say it.
What do you say to these delusional people?
Depends on what they say and how they expect me to react. 'Shut up' can work, or 'fuck off.'
