Thanks for reminding me how irritating jocks can be. BTW, I'm with Nietzsche. Greek pantheon > Christian mythology. Although I'll also take the Norse (I'm pragmatic).


You're so sensitive. Honest question, do you actually *believe* in Zeus or Odin?


No, of course not.


So what do you have? A dilettante's preference for one set of stories over another, which you trot out when you feel threatened. This is what I'm getting at with the epithet "four-eyed classicists"; it has nothing to do with 'nerds' and 'jocks', everything to do with real devotion. Come talk to me when you believe in something. I don't care if it is Zeus.

I believe in a pluralistic Constitutional triarchy.

Honestly, I'm tired of arguing with you.
