gollark: it seems overly fate-y.
gollark: I read Gaiman's *Norse Mythology* and quite liked it, but I also don't actually think it's *true* and wouldn't want to live in a Norse-mythology-driven world anyway.

gollark: You should join my religion. We have a 30 days satisfaction or your belief back guarantee, and you can keep your existing religion.
