You shouldn't have to put on a mask with a potential romantic partner just to reel that person in only to unmask later. If she was really into you, she would have been okay with you disagreeing with her in the beginning.
I told her I disagreed with her, she was ok with me disagreeing with her we had a relatively good convo about it. She kind of agreed with me in the end, admitting not all wars are caused by religion and I listed various big religious conflicts saying I understood why she might be of the mindset that religion causes all war because I agree it can cause a lot of conflict.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
