This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I have god, not God. I know because I was typing on my phone and it autocorrected to God three times and I had to go back and fix it.

It should say "gods are a fairy tale". "god is a fairy tale" is misleading grammar if you don't mean there's one. You wouldn't say "gremlin is a fairy tale", you'd say "gremlins are a fairy tale".
