See, there's your problem: you're already buying into the whole "these are real people, not just figments of my imagination" idea. Once you make that giant leap in faith, all the other crazy stuff just falls into place:
-"Not eating won't free my soul from worldly illusions, it will just kill me."
-"If I wish hard enough and with faith, my desires will probalby still not manifest in reality."
-"Masturbating on buses is bad."
Where's the fun in that?
