It is everything. It’s the chasm that only you see. I have Christian relatives and friends. I don’t exclude for religion – but you do.

Well you’ve been dating sheep. I am arguing. And that’s what you like about me, or rather what you would like if I just worshipped your God… :P

That has nothing to do with nothing. I don’t let the ladies buy and for some reason they don’t argue.

You do know that a woman’s sexual peak is at 40 right?

Soaps… are you for real? I’d rather poke my own eyes out with a plastic Wendy’s spoon. I watch The Daily Show, House, Project Runway, and some occasional Discovery Channel or PBS Science or Art special. Other than that, I read political or human interest books – when not grading stuff. I’m dying to go to the new Georgia Aquarium. And, as much as possible, I love to be outside. Landscape photography, scuba diving, anything water related. And I grow a garden in the summer. Nothing like homegrown tomato sauce over pasta… Of course, I had a veggie burger for dinner because that cheeseburger you mentioned earlier this week just made me want one… and it was my compromise.

Free meal? If that’s all you’re worried about, I’ll pay for my own damn dinner – and even yours. I had money as an architect. It’s not what interests me. Never has been. It can’t buy what really matters. And considering what you did on Wednesday, how completely unexpected and cool that was, you know that. You know what I mean. You just can’t accept it coming from an Atheist. I get it. I do now.

Sex..of course not. I know women your age would rather watch soaps than have sex. I was thinking that you’re just angling for a free meal.

Such paranoia… No, actually, I don’t. I thought I was clear earlier. But, whatever.

S-e-x?

I know you have an ulterior motive.

Hey, wait a minute… you’re complaining about someone actually wanting to hear what you have to say?

Hmmmm. And then you men state that we women are difficult to understand. Now I know why I hang out with 15 year olds all day…

Comment by I-RIGHT-I — February 16, 2006 @ 10:55 am

Well, if you’re not gonna answer, then I’ll let it go. I already told you, I don’t like a lot of mystery. I’m still afraid of the dark.

Yeah, that’s what I always think people who have everything going for them need more of…

I’m sure I’ll get to at least a couple when I have more time. Are you always this demanding?

Comment by I-RIGHT-I — February 16, 2006 @ 10:22 am

Inject some estrogen and hang out with 15 year olds all day… then ask again. :)

Actually, demands are punctuated with periods or exclamation points. Question marks follow questions. It was a question. I prefer to ask intent rather than assume… and considering how many you’ve ignored in the past, it seemed valid and fair.

Are you serious? It would explain A LOT if you are.

Comment by unbelievable

Yep, I can imagine you’d like to know why I get cut so much slack. I might be serious. Only Judd, Sissy and myself know for sure.

Oh no? Pity.

Are you going to answer any of my questions? Or should I stop bothering to ask any?

‘No’ would have required less effort. I’ll be surprised if you didn’t strain anything typing in all those extra letters.

Besides, I wasn’t talking about s-e-x.

Uh uh. :-)

Numbers? What numbers? Don’t do what?

Stop talking to me? Yeah, right. I’m worse than a $1000 dollar a day coke habit.

If you say so… I told you, I’ve not done drugs.

You didn’t try you were a nominal Roman Catholic and didn’t know how. You went through the rituals and did it by the numbers. How many Hail Mary’s did you rack up? That’s not what I’m talking about.

How many Catholic churches do you think were in rural Georgia in the 1970s and 80s? From 8 until my senior year in college, I went to an assortment of Protestant services from non-denominational to hard core Southern Baptist. The first college I went to was a private Methodist college. I know very little about Catholic dogma or ritual as I never got past my first Communion. And I didn’t go back to Catholic services until my senior year in college, when it was my last attempt. Nothing else was working for me, so I thought I’d give Catholicism another try.

So, if I don’t know, then tell me specifically what you are talking about?

I’m not confusing liberalism with hedonism.

Okay not confusing – but you do equate the two. And if anyone is hedonistic, it’s the women in your Bible Study group, not the Atheist who won’t recognize is more moral – by free choice.

I’m giving you a universal truth.

But you know I don’t operate that way. Prove it to me. I’m not being condescending here. It’s why I gave up the search for god. I have not found proof. Prove it to me. In terms that make sense – not blind faith and emotions. But in logic and science and humanity.

Bad isn’t what I’m talking about. I’m talking about fallen and intrinsically sinful.

You say intrinsically sinful, and I say intrinsically human. You think we need to be fixed, and I think we need to fix the system to accommodate human behavior.

People are the problem, they’ve always been the problem and the proof of the pudding is how far we’ve devolved.

So, does this mean you recognize evolution? Just don’t know your position on it.

We’re smarter, tougher and better in a lot of ways than we’ve ever been but we are less wise. The fact that mankind has destroyed over 100,000,000 people in the last one hundred years is proof of that. Our mind altering drug bill is proof of that. Our abortion rate is proof of that. Our seemingly insatiable lust for sex and violence is proof of that.

I don’t think our self-destructive nature is a result of sin or badness or de-evolution. I think it’s a result of stress. For one, we have too many people competing for a limited number of resources (land, food, water, money, jobs, love, etc.). As a result, we have to become highly competitive (getting other people fired, stealing some else’s food, starting wars over oil… and I agree, it is only going to become much, much worse).

Unless we wake up and do something about the escalating human population on this planet. Things weren’t like this when we were kids. And it’s not a result of Satan or sin or immorality – it’s a result of the population having doubled. And if it doubles again by 2025, we’re going to be in real trouble.

Don’t tell me it’s the system or I’ll have to get rough with you and I just promised Judd I’d be good. (Had my fingers crossed though)

It’s the system. (You should know better by now than to expect obedience). You don’t scare me tough guy. And you know why :).

Just so everybody knows, Judd banned me for about an hour for being bad. Then I called my little sister whom he is dating and we got it all straightened out. No harm, no foul. Sis, if you are reading this, you are a wicked wench.

Are you serious? It would explain A LOT if you are.

There was no middle class at that time love. It was all financed by the global elite on the backs of the working poor and the conquered. It was actually the dissolute sons of the elite and the radicals of the academic class that stirred up the passions of the Walking Dead Losers that brought them down. Hitler used the same tactics.

And our middle class is shrinking every year, until we too will be without one.

Explains why authority figures dislike me. I question them, and incite my peers to do the same.

We do need to be saved, from ourselves and that was the primary work of Christ. Of course we are drowning in ideology, that’s what people do when they try to fill that God sized vacuum in their heart.

I think Jesus, if he was a real person (I don’t know either way), was not a savior, but a philosopher. And in that regard, I am more Christian than most of the people you see every Sunday. You know it, you just don’t like it.

Please show me where this God-sized vacuum in the heart is. I do not have it.

The Founding Fathers of this country devised that compromise.

Yes. Agreed.

What we have done is bastardized the freedom of conscience they practiced and gave us and turned it into a freedom from conscience. As I’ve said, It’s a people problem and Jesus Christ (though you have no clue what I’m talking about) is the answer.

I disagree about the freedom from conscience in the masses. I think most people are honorable, and those who aren’t are the ones drawn to power. And that’s our problem.

For a slight fee and other possible considerations I might be persuaded you take you under my wing…so to speak.

We both know what you really want. And you think that if you could just get me to believe, you’d have it.
