View submission: AITA for questioning everything?
You show an unusual acuteness here, friend Aristophanes, and I am happy to indulge you. I maintain that we must question everything; even the nature of assholes, and of me, and of whether these concepts overlap. What possible subcategory of everything would make me an asshole to inquire into?

All good people of Athens know that the Gods have a tendency to come down from the clouds and turn people to frogs and wasps and such, if provoked. A polis that allowed questioning the Gods would be in danger of provoking the Gods and thus seeing their loved ones turn into a creature that would simply not savour olives and fine Grecian wine (or laugh at the fart jokes in my plays). Thus, anybody who questioned the Gods would be an asshole. Would you agree?
