Further disdain for organised religion, and more wanting not to be divided from his belifes perhaps? again, someone please elaborate if tey agree


When I hear save your poison it makes me think of sucide, using poision to kill yourself. Using poision to kill someone else, hence save your poison. It's not worth it, or something like religion is a poison and leeches feed off of other lliving animals.
