Bad trip on LSD might be more fitting. Fantasy usually has some morals in it.
Oh, and happy birthday. Must be one of these last two days, isn't it.
Thank you.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Unicorns are a mistranslation of wild ox. Satyrs are a mistranslation of something we really don't have a word for: demon goat, goat demon, pagan demon god, possessed goat. Take your pick.
In any case, those still clinging to the King James Version are stuck with the unicorns and the satyrs.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

That makes no sense??? when was the word "wild ox" created and why wasn't the Bible AUTOMATICALLY changed too reflect that?

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

And translations of ancient languages are harder.
