So Buddha is all "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

And I'm like, "Says who?"
And then I add this nice little "stfu buddha you're not my dad".
And he doesn't say anything back because I don't want to go search wikiquote for possible Buddha replies.

Then Mencken goes "Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt."
I'm like "WHO INVITED YOU."

Some other stuff happens. Exciting stuff. People. Etc. Things embedded in quotation marks. I grit my teeth and squint my eyes.
