no fucking way. i tend to think I have a sense of humor about the whole thing; i mean, if i felt ridiculed for what i know to be true, I wouldn’t get pissed; because i view the whole debate as slightly absurd.
on the other hand, the other side is serious. not funny…not open…desperately closed…
so no conversations! no one in the known universe has the necessary conversational skills, except psychologists specializing in cult debriefing.
actually, i take that back.. in 1981, freshman year…long conversations with a born again superhot girl till late at night in the ivy league dorm..the arguemtns for and against the existence of G-d. for me the sexual tension was pretty high (i cant speak for her, but I suspect it was quite a bit lower)…
she was so unbelievably sweet and beautiful, breasts that almost proved the existence of a G-d ( i certainly would’ve sworn my allegiance to any deity and fought on His behalf for Them), but theologically we didn’t seem to get anywhere..a few years later, she dropped the born again thing. I’m sure her parents blamed the liberal college scene…in a way they were right…such a smart beautiful girl…just thinking about how delicate and lovely and kind and sincere she was makes me feel liek the world is a good place…[/quote]
Have you ever read House of Leaves? You could easily pass for Johnny Truant.
