Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

True happiness should come from inside yourself, and not be reliant on any external crutch. Otherwise you're only fooling yourself.
You don't need religion to inspire good deeds either. Anyone is capable of doing Good Stuff if they think and try. So few do, granted, but the religion factor is a strawman in this particular argument.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
ACDC's guitar player always reminded me of a little Amish boy in those silly shorts!
