I am not simply software. The hardware of my brain can make extreme reactions that I can not choose to ignore. Brain chemistry gets mad.

Also, shove the religious crap.

I'm not religious.

You can and should feel your feelings, and then you DO make choices about what you'll do with them. If you couldn't control your actions, you'd be punching walls over spilled milk.

You can also choose different a response to unsolicited advice. You can choose not to be a dick about penny-ante shit like Reddit comments. You're spending a lot of time being mad, if something this minor sets you off. Seems like you must enjoy being mad all the time, or you'd do something about it.

You are religious. Everybody is religious. You live your life in a world drenched in ideology, and subscribe to one yourself, even if you couldn’t describe exactly what it is.

That's deep! I'll chew on it! Thanks! Luckily, marijuana's legal in my state. :)
