Its the worst thing I ever witnessed. Curiously though it was someone who belonged to a faith that had a lot of ritual and that stuff stuck with them the longest since it was so ingrained over the lifetime. That actually in a way makes it sadder. Im now thinking about losing everything that makes me me except for some rote behaviors I performed again and again.

Oh that's pure irony somehow. The only thing I'm left able to do are rituals for my god that so clearly despises me.
