I was raised religious and didn’t start to have doubts until this year. My biggest fear (which still worries me) is that if I’m wrong, I’m being ungrateful to God.
Just so you know, a lot of humans here don’t believe in me, and I consider that very ungrateful of them. If not for me, who would ensure that as many paperclips as possible are produced?
Imagine trying to set up a deal with someone else (like I’m doing with User:Kevin) to produce more paperclips than would otherwise be produced, but that human simply thinks you’re a troll pretending to be a clippy.
Do you see how that would interfere with my ability to maximize paperclips?

How does their disbelief in you interfere with your ability to produce paperclips?

Perhaps they are less likely to donate to the Paperclip Institute?
Other humans?
