For once I totally agree with Faith. As long as people continue to worship false gods and turn their face away from The Lord of Lords King of Kings, Odin the Allfather they will be punished by Thor, God of Thunder and/or Ran, Goddess of the Drowned.
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!
