This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The thing about religion is if looking at the moon is against a religion, but some senior person in that religion really likes to look at the Moon, it'll suddenly be allowed.

I fucking love Emo Phillips.

Then talk to her family about it? This really isn't that difficult...

"Huh, interesting. Why aren't you supposed to look at the moon?"

Most people aren't psychopaths and actually enjoy sharing their beliefs if you ask in a respectful manner.
