    De Sade was into guillotines - wonder if he enjoyed it when they chopped his head off (wait nvm he escaped. Loser).

    I’ll plead the fifth but note that Left Behind was traumatic in a strange way.

        There’s this weird Christian martyrdom culture. We watched cartoons about the Christians being fed to the lions at the Colosseum; I read She Said Yes and was asked to consider what I would say if Eric Harris pointed a gun at my head and asked me if I believed in God (this story was entirely made up, it’s fucked up how Cassie Bernall’s family exploited her for political gain - this is why we have the moment of silence in schools btw); I imagined myself being lead to the guillotine for refusing the Mark of the Beast.

        I have beliefs that I’m willing to die for now - but yah know, I’m not celebrating the idea. It’s pretty fucked up and traumatic, and I think my strange quirk is probably the healthiest sexual hang up that could come out of that culture.

        This is not healthy culture.
