    General 
  • It doesn't matter how good you are. If you're not an outright messiah, you're going to Hell anyway.
    • It's literally impossible to get into Heaven, so don't bother trying to be a good person.
  • Adhering to any one philosophy or Character Alignment makes you either evil, stupid, miserable or all of the above.
  • Humans are the center of the universe and every other sentient being in the universe revolves their entire eternal lives around our happiness or unhappiness.
  • Taste is objective. Liking or disliking certain media or food is a moral act and not liking the right things makes you a bad person.
  • Whoever wrote the objective moral laws of the universe is a racist.
  • All Crimes Are Equal in the eyes of higher beings.
  • Higher Understanding Through Drugs is completely true, and knowledge from this makes you a better person than charity work or philosophical study does.
  • Dying isn't the end of your existence, but it's the end of your human rights.note
