Sensing from the environment that if I told the truth there would be fisticuffs and other entertainment, I gave a vague non-committal "spirit of humanity" dodge to be left in peace with my beer.
Am I a coward? Depends how you look at it. I could've told this violent man the truth and possibly end in a fight, but I chose to lie and be left alone.
Those who know me, know my stance on faith. I'm not gonna entertain a possible bloody nose because of some principle talking with (violent) strangers.
Hmmm...not willing to be beaten into belief.
There are times when the less said the better...seems this was one of those times.
Funny how what's personal to some, others think they have the right to know.
I'm your huckleberry.
