Random Thoughts

[Silver]

A very drunk and notoriously violent man asked me if I believed in God in the local pub after I told him my name (it's biblical). 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.

I would have told the truth. I've gotten into religious and political debates while drunk at the bar.
