The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Perhaps it was a blessed fire door.

I hope this was figured out with a control group that got whacked with a secular book of the same size as the bible. But the bibles and secular books would have to be covered in brown paper so it could be a methodologically rigorous double-blind comparison.

I think chaotic neutral is perhaps the best you can hope for, as your hand carelessly knocks over your glass of water.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

If that is an evil hand, I've had one off and on for much of my life. which might explain more about how things turned out if it was, like, "Stop hitting yourself!1", I guess.
