...or perhaps one of the gazillions of 2nd Amendment worshipers who claimed they needed their "arms" to fight tyranny actually figured out what tyranny meant.

actually happened as written. Myths are believed to be true until they are not.

It's notable that there is also no evidence that any deities capable of doing all that smiting exist, either.

I dismissed all of that as myth over 50 years ago.

I'm with you.
For example, yesterday there were 6 tornado's in southern Alabama. I was right in the middle of one of them. Thank goodness, no one was killed. But afterwards, everyone was thanking God for that fact. Wait just a minute. If you believe that, then who was it that "sent" the tornado's? Why didn't God stop them before they screwed up all those people's homes by destroying them? And if your answer is "the devil" then why does the devil have more authority over the weather than God?
It's all so ridiculous, I just shake my head in disbelief.

Or maybe not. My notes have never been fact checked.

When I die, I'm going nowhere, except that my ashes will be dumped into the Mississippi River from the Robert Street Bridge in St. Paul, MN. From there, the river will carry them downstream, depositing them here and there, so they can be of some use to the ecosystem.

On a more serious note, the Robert Street Bridge in MN might be one of the multiple roads that lead humans' to a higher level of the knowledge/awareness of the universe.

It might be easier for my wife, and is lower and closer to the water. I'll leave that for her to decide when the time comes.

of what direction the wind is blowing, when she is scattering them.

No worries.

your atoms will exist forever. Or at least for a long, long time.

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. They, quite literally, make our universe what it is. When we die, our bodies do not turn into nothing; rather, they are broken down into their constituent parts and recycled into the ecosystem. In short, our atoms go on long after we are gone.

Let the smiting begin!

Whoever smites who, better do a good job the first time, or I’m leaving the show.

Is that your conclusion due the the absence of meatballs?

Evidently in thunderstorms he handed out karmic adjustments.

It does have a bit of history and geography thrown in
which gives it a little aura of verisimilitude... but that's it.

It's a little slower (the whole thing) when you're using orange candles.
