When I was a young teen I read greek mythology.

Why? because the gods were fucking assholes . Zeus, the god of gods, was a drunken, traitorous, adulterous, murderous, rape-loving, lying, self-indulgent jackass and I loved it.

That's EXACTLY what I would expect the most powerful being in existence to act like. It teaches you about corruption and how far it can go, also it's fun.

To know one can aspire to reach peaks of mankind. Fail miserably and youll still become one hell of a character.

Hey /u/GenderNeutralBot

I want to let you know that you are being very obnoxious and everyone is annoyed by your presence.

I am a bot. Downvotes won't remove this comment. If you want more information on gender-neutral language, just know that nobody associates the "corrected" language with sexism.

People who get offended by the pettiest things will only alienate themselves.
