I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let's forget that right. Let's forget the pleasure you get safely on your range, because it's in the wrong hands in other places.
A drunk doesn't try to stand up; a drunk tries not to fall down.
We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.
Vanity is great motivation, to be fair.

I do believe in God, but I think it's very healthy for a believer to spend time in the pragmatism of agnosticism, and I think God appreciates agnostics trying to make a science of it and going, "I will not believe any further than that."
