THE RESPONSE WAS HORRIBLY BEAUTIFUL!
The girl I had actually been friends with for two years and spent a few hours with this very evening, with those googly eyes blinking away, had tranformed her attitudes towards me in time beyond measure.
What amazed me...
Was that in her previous conversation her attitudes were that of one of those Christians that really wasn't in "the faith" but rather a blind follower of the family accompanying and reciting.
How could such an impassionate person become so enraged by the opposition to such a seemingly unimportant matter?
I went on to explain to her that if I were Muslim, Jew or if I were some other denomination that opposed her views or even her god in total as would have only a slight mention of objection... It is religions belief that a faith, no matter it's grounds premise or conclusion, is far better than no faith. To believe in a god is much better than believing in no god.
(previously she gave me the normal, even quotable, phrase: "I think it takes more faith to believe in no god") ... My fellow athiests, we understand they are utter morons but in their minds it makes since
It is amazing how the presentation of an ideal, a mindset have you, can drastically change the perception of the exact same person you had always known. No, not a stranger where stereotyping is a product of evolutionary efficiency but the altering of someone you have know for years...
That day, the same entertaining and attractive me split apart and turned into a demon threating her life (in her eyes)
