No. I do believe in them. I just think they're absentee landlords. Right now, they're probably hanging out somewhere in Las Vegas, screwing showgirls and cheating at poker.

The quote reflects a cynical view of a higher power or deities, suggesting that while the speaker acknowledges their existence, they perceive them as neglectful or uninvolved in the lives of humans. The imagery of the deities engaging in carefree activities in Las Vegas highlights their distance from reality and responsibility, emphasizing a sense of abandonment.

This perspective can resonate with individuals who feel disconnected from traditional beliefs or who see the challenges of life as evidence of a lack of divine intervention. The comparison to "absentee landlords" suggests a belief that these higher powers are preoccupied with their own pleasures rather than being present to guide or assist humanity.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
