Sure. Sometimes I want to step on a bug, out of mercy, but my hard wiring seems to stop me.

It is a frustrating fact of my life that just by existing I'm going to be causing harm to various forms of life, mainly insects. I don't like it, but I don't have a lot of choice.

I don't want to ever step on a bug (except out of mercy) if I could avoid it. But I know that's not realistic. Of course I would feel a lot worse if I intended to do it.

I bought mine at Walmart. They say, "Made in China".

No institution is greedier than religion and the church.

No one is more vain than religious institutions building and decorating.

No one is more envious than religious people using the sin card on others.
