No idea. Everyone comes up with a different bowl of word salad, and never any indication that they are talking about anything real.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

That is a good question. Sadly, I don't have the answer. Lol

RE: What is God?
These are the best descriptions I have of what gods actually are, in reality:

1) Imaginary friend / comfort blanket

2) The personification of the argument from ignorance (a plug for the hole of uncertainty dressed up in local mythology)

3) An idealised projection of the self

4) A constant feeling of paranoia and fear that you're being judged

Oh yeah. That too! Money and power, real easy, from selling a non-existent product.

Y'all want me to weigh in with another Anusius tribute thread ?

Panic
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah vorl I'm kinda getting the feeling that the thread is slowly turning into a tribute to Anusius by itself...
