Eww....Zenith.....wtf?
Quote:- Try acting as if you're convinced that they have a good answer - one which preserves their good image.If they don't have a good answer or a good image....there's no sense in pretending that they do. It helps no one.
Quote:- Try focusing on understanding as much as you can of how they view things, instead of making it look like a battle / debate.Can't, makes me cringe....their view is inhuman and inhumane.
Quote:- Be careful not to make them believe that you're trying to push your views upon them.This one is actually good...especially if you aren;t trying to push your views. Personally, I prefer to shame, rather than push.
Quote:- It is a mistake to believe that they ought to answer your questions appropriately. They don't feel like they must - they 'know' that themselves are "right" and whether you want to hear or not what they 'know' is your problem.Well, they ought to, if they want a solid discussion. If they don't...then fuck em. That's not so much a mistake as a difference in goals. If they want a soapbox they don't need a partner for that, eh?
Quote:- In the worst case, try pretending you're a disheartened christian bogged down by some questions, maybe they'll give an answer, perhaps among words like "most christians are not real christians"Lie to them? Why? Particularly here, where saying "You know...some christians believe that -x-" will perform precisely the same function.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
