If only I could take the credit.

But, alas, I (ahem) borrowed it. Angel







Seriously though, all credit goes to Scott Lynch, author of the "Gentleman Bastard" series (the book covers rotating through my avatar). My user title, religious views and signature are all part of the theme as well.

Actually, all my usernames here have been literary allusions. GalacticBusDriver came from the most excellent book "Waiting for the Galactic Bus" and SnakeOilWarrior from the truly bodacious sequel, "The Snake Oil Wars." Those books aren't what made me and atheist, but what made me realize it's ok to be an atheist.

Though a cat with a flamethrower would be awesome!

If they could haz them, they would.  Big Grin

Indeed.

And, the human race would be nearly destroyed and the survivors subjugated by the end of the week.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
