You need a control sample, taken while the person is still alive. Get them to chop off a finger or something, and burn it, and compare the two when the time comes. *

According to Dave Chappelle’s portrayal of Clayton Bigsby, probably not.

I used to have a similar type of rage towards my parents and my existence. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fAsHGEB69P0 this Alan Watts video helped me move past it. Not saying it will definitely help you, but it’s worth a shot.

You have my blessing, child.

I very seriously considered writing and publishing a book called “Mind Your Own Fucking Business - The Sane Guide To Personal Belief Systems” and aggressively lobbying to have copies of the book in hotels, airplanes etc. It’s probably a good thing I don’t have enough money to act on my ideas, because it would cause me so much more trouble.

I met a fundamentalist Christian a few years ago, who just came back from overseas. She flew Air Emirates, an openly Muslim airline. She recounted with a malicious smugness how she replaced the Qurans in the seats with bibles. I asked her what good she thought that would do - did she think such a disrespeful act, done with malice, would encourage them to invite Jesus to their bosom. She frowned heavily and said nothing. I asked why even use an airline you have so much hatred for, why not use a good, clean-living, Christian™ airline? She squirmed and mumbled something about Air Emirates being the cheapest. I asked her if someone replaced her bible with a Quran on a plane, would she be receptive to the message of the Quran, or would she just be offended that someone is being malicious towards her holy book of choice. She looked like she was going to cry, and walked away.

I have a feeling airlines don’t really care either.

I’m not in the USA but this trend is also happening in other countries. I guess USA feels it more because of the already punitive health system.

I’ve been thinking in recent times about pharmacies. 20 odd years ago, pharmacies used to deal with things too severe to put off, maybe not severe enough to see a doctor for. Now pharmacies are about “wellness” which is marketing crap to make more money. Middle aged woman feeling unwell? Cut your hair short and dye it 3 different colours. You’ll look young and feel young! But they’re still unwell and still have sore joints etc. Pretty depressing to think about.
