/lit/ - Literature

Building on the previous post:
I have this fucked up theory where Christianity drove the success of the West by preaching virtue and insisting that there's an eternal afterlife of paradise. So people live out decent lives, build a decent character, and then expend most all of their good karma in the afterlife since that's what they expect. So you have a bunch of rather virtuous people being reborn in mandatory good circumstances that are compelled to make life even better somehow.

>that scene where Urthstripe fights a weasel & his son using a mace & chain, and he's so fucking angry at them that he's foaming at the mouth (could've been meant figuratively but i imagine it's literal)

badgers are a bit overpowered but it's still awesome
