Fictional characters may make good role models, but I prefer real persons, though Tongue




But Satan, FTW Wink
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I'll have the chicken please.
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!

It would be hard to model yourself on an immaterial, invisible, ineffable super entity with a mind more complex than the universe itself, whilst being an essential simple being (even if you could bring yourself to believe in such an unlikely thing). At least Satan was a goat cum dragon cum snake thing that could materialize. In that sense it would be easier to dress up as Satan for parties...yup the lord of the flies for me.

Lotta cum there. Should attract bimbos like flies. Unlike rumpled togas and looong grey beards.

Satan is more interesting and less of a cunt than YHWH.


I think imaginary heroes make absolutely better role models. Real ones invariably turn out to have feet of clay. EG One of mine was Gandhi. Then I studied him at university and discovered what an arsehole he was.Could have been worse; I could have chosen a professional athlete; here they tend to be arseholes AND really stupid.

I prefer rebellion over dictatorship, so I'm going with Satan.
