I mean, look at what he says here:


That's the problem with your whole view on things, Neo!

It totally sums up how he cares about the Christian agenda more than knowing the truth itself. If his aim was to seek out knowledge for its own sake perhaps he wouldn't be so ignorant of the fact that his faith was a load of bollocks and certainly not worth being made the aim of knowledge.


I agree with most all of this except for two things.  One, I haven't read Drich because he belongs on ignore.  And two, Neo's obsession with a Christian agenda bothers me less than his obsession with treating people as objects.  Perhaps he is somewhere on the spectrum or maybe he is depressed.  People who suffer from anhedonia aren't motivated by the normal range of human responses and also have difficulty understanding the motives of others.  

My bold. I would have given your post a thorough response like I always do (to everyone, even people I should feel nothing but contempt for... and I actually really like you Whateves)

But... I stopped reading after the bolded part. I think you are confusing autism with psychopathy. I've had a stressful, unusual and very much lonely day (I did an hour's walk home at 1.30 in the morning in the dark) so perhaps I am being hypersensitive but this made my gut sink.

And yeah, Neo is an unfeeling cunt who treats people like objects. I don't though, and as you know I'm very much "on the spectrum." Unfortunately.
