How does a spirit work?

How can a spirit be created?

What is a spirit made of?

Do we have any evidence spirits exist in the first place?

Apparently a spirit is just a chip off a much larger block of bullshit.

And here we are.

Now that's an interesting concept.
"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."

It fucks your brain. Beautifully.

I'm no expert, but I understand fermenting stuff does the trick.

Alkyhol. Lots and lots of it.

Well, I bloody do.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well played sir, well played.

We shall create a new religion, and its name shall be... Alcoholism

I shall worship every day.

At least alcohol doesn't bang on about bloody Jesus all the time.

'Lil yellow birdie with a lil yellow bill
Landed on my window sill
Lured him in with a lil piece a bread
Then I crushed his lil fucking head
Me oh my I am such a clutz
I missed his head and hit his nutz'

- Which has about as much spiritual value as the OP.

In addition to which, you don't have to wait 2000 years for a second drink.

Also, getting stoned for drinking another brand is the object of the exercise.
