The old man was chatty and down to earth, we spent about half an hour talking before he spit out "I am a man of god and believe he put me down on earth to be a framer" I chuckled and carried on a different subject without actually realizing that I felt a sudden disconnect after hearing that.
I started realizing this before but when ever I am around religious folk I develop a disconnection and try to plead out as soon as possible. Basically I don't like being around them, even if they are generous and nice.
Does anyone else feel that way?
Yeah, they creep me out. Especially when they catch me off-guard as in your example. Makes me want to back out of the room without making eye contact.
Unfortunately, I can't do this with my ophthalmologist. The guy thinks God put him on Earth to remove cataracts. (I never asked him why God decided to bless us with them in the first place.) But, he's damn good at cataract surgery and I know I'll need to see him again soon.
