Turning it into a cartoon's script to watch while  is....one disgusting idea.
No, going through life without ever knowing the glories of bacon is a disgusting idea.

I made some potatoes to go with the salmon I grilled today for dinner. I am SO looking forward to reheating those potatoes with some bacon. in a skillet tomorrow. There will be a red bell pepper involved, as well. I don't generally enjoy cooking, and a bowl of oatmeal is fine with me, but sometimes...BACON!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

What good is a religion that doesn't try to make life less painful?
What good is a religion that takes itself so seriously that there's no fun allowed?
It provides objective truth, it is never meant to be a subjective matter.
If I wanted to have fun, first I'll consult myself to see what is the most fun thing to me, then I will consult the objective constitution that I follow to see if the fun "I'm trying to have" is legal".
Consulting the Quran; I have a severe warning from turning religion into "something fun; a mere game and play":
Quote:Sura 6, The Quran:
https://quran.com/6
(70) And leave those who take this1 faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere play and amusement and are deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life. Yet remind them by this ˹Quran˺, so no one should be ruined for their misdeeds. They will have no protector or intercessor other than Allah. Even if they were to offer every ˹possible˺ ransom, none will be accepted from them. Those are the ones who will be ruined for their misdeeds. They will have a boiling drink and painful punishment for their disbelief.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

You've already established that you have no idea what those words mean..many..many times over.
None of that shit from magic book, about boiling drinks and painful punishment...for example, is true in any way, let alone objectively true. You just like to imagine it, sicko.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Religion can be disturbing creepy enjoyment.

If I saw a creepy old pedo in a dress slap a baby like that, I'd kick the prick so hard he'd cough up his balls!

I suppose I might enjoy religion if it involved a pagan fertility rite, featuring an afternoon long sex orgy.
