Whether or not I believe in a fairy tale has little impact on whether or not I can grasp the purpose of said fairy tale. You don't know anything about my reasons because for you there can be none. You are correct, I am not a mistake. My parents had blissful extramarital sex and a few decades later voila! Whatever your gods plan for me is will have to wait until there's nothing left of me because I'm already booked up until the very moment of my death. Imagining that god has double vision explains a hell of a lot about the world around us. It's impossible for him to "give up on me" since he is omni-everything. He wrote the fucking script. I'm glad you aren't interested in conversion because you're arguments are possibly the weakest examples of missionary ideology I've ever encountered. I'm glad that you won't give up on me, I return the favor. That piece of me that wants to know love has children, so again, full up thanks. I never had to learn how to be hurtful to those different than myself, it's an evolved trait. Want to hear me talk in an uplifting manner, lets talk about people using reality based solutions to reality based problems. You'll find me very unbiased if you stop asking me to accept your particular bias as absolutely and unconditionally true. When I criticize your religion I am absolutely putting my place into the hearts and minds of the people that it has ended. Utterly ended. I am perfectly capable of loving people that I don't know without the aide of magic. If pressed I'd stand arm to arm to defend you from tyranny...which is exactly what I'm doing right now. Spend less time pitying me and more time questioning your faith.
If the Lord wants to be seen, I won't be able to stop him, so stop making excuses for a man you've never met.
You have a good night too.
Also, frozen yogurt is epic, and I absolutely would say any of this to your face, with a smile on mine.
Thanks for turning this one around on my Rhythm, you got me gooood. I mean, that comment on the end, you really showed me who is boss! Good work man.

your buddy,
Salty
