So long as it's your happy place, so long as we're all in our happy places, who gives a rat fart what anyone else thinks. 

At this point I can't even tell if you're just [poorly] trolling or have some weird religious hang up here... your writing is so bad - it's hard to even garner a coherent point... me writing anything more just feels like punching down at this point. 

I think the correct question is, "which school failed to teach you how to write?"
