That felt like a click bait title. I caved and read anyway and now I’m even more irritated because I want to know the username of the said emailer.

Damnit Buddha.

It was one of the outspoken religious folks on Voat - or so they claimed. I have zero way to verify it and the return email address (it was sent through the site) is not even a real domain name. So, it'll have to remain a mystery. Sorry. :-(

I miss those religious loons over at voat from time to time. As my username suggests I find the lot of them utterly useless but fascinating to witness with the amount of mental hurdles they jump.

LOL Yeah, that seems likely.

I'm a secular Buddhist which, by that, I mean I'm pretty fucking fond of science and I don't mean what passes for science on Voat.

So, in other words, I'm a horrible Buddhist. My atoms will be used again, but I have no reason to believe there's any consciousness attached to it. My name actually comes from, "If you meet The Buddha on the road, kill him."

Or, to sum it all up by quoting the great English bard Ozzy Osbourne...

"Don't ask me. I don't know!"

So, it brings me no great pain to admit that I'm Satan. I can't actually reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into, and I'm not all that fond of futility.
