Mini rant, because I can

RE: Mini rant, because I can
Then we should go in style. I'm sure I could convince Cynthia and Justin to go.

Sure. Many Roman Catholics go on pilgrimages. To Rome, Lourdes, Santiago de Compostella, etc. etc. etc. All places where 'miracles' are supposed to have happened. Usually apparitions of Mary. Or graves of saints (and they have almost 6,000 of those now...).

Quote:I've tried to stay polite

Their badgering you certainly isn't 'polite' – especially if you have made it clear that you are a non-believer and don't want to go. So imo it's time to stop being 'polite', time to stop being 'nice', because that M.O. clearly doesn't register. It's time to say: "Listen, I've tried to be polite about this but you won't listen, so I'll say this one more time: FUCK OFF ABOUT THIS PILGRIMAGE/HERITAGE TRIP!" And then walk away.

If that person starts about it again I'd tell them I will stop seeing them because of this. And then effectively cut them off.
If they nevertheless keep searching you out to get you to go, I'd punch them.

Who wants to go to a fascist country that is about to start WWIII?

RE: Mini rant, because I can
Zen and I have an idea of "pilgrimage" yep...we're saving up to go on a 'tour de sneer' of all those places we wanted to go to but couldn't because of kids, financial obligations/ restrictions etc etc.... anyway England and France are up there...Zen wants Israel and I want Iceland ...meh we'll probably both settle for Isle of Mann TT race.

Go to England (which is where I know you will be going) Honey and to hell with what others think.
