I saw this sign near a church once. It seems to be them admitting prayer doesn’t do anything.

        But they were the ones that prayed, if it wasn’t for them bringing it up to the storm god of the desert’s attention, he would have done NOTHING, you see? The narcissism behind the veil of piety?

            I’m right near the center of the goddamned Universe. In space AND in time! Praze Jayzus!
            I can just about see it right here from my house in [Little Rock/Tulsa/Fresno/wherever-the-fuck-I-am], right in [1882/1932/1971/1999/whenever-the-fuck-I-am].

            At the center of a cartoon view of the universe, in the middle of nowhere, in a cultural and spiritual wasteland.

              In all seriousness, though, please do yourself a favor and watch the first season of True Detective if you never have. It’s exceptional.

                I saw it during its’ initial run!
                It’s like they finally were able to pull off Tarkovsky-level television. It’s incredible.
