She may not need the respect but she certainly gets it here more than you do. And I think it's for a good reason.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's for a shitty reason, and thus it's dishonest.

Woah, woah woah... back up.
I will NOT be like you no matter what.
I am NOT very similar to you.
I am NOT your future self.
Stop. Being. So. Fucking. Creepy. And. Delusional.
Not my future self. Your future self. I was saying you would remember these talks one day and I'm saying to who you will have become, that's all.

Sorry I meant "You are NOT my future self", I knew that that's what you meant... and I still find it weird and creepy if you genuinely believe that. I do not have more potential than anyone else here to become like you, I'm nothing fucking like you EP... the only real similarities we seem to have is we're both atheists and we both agree a lot with Sam Harris... other than that I think we are VERY different people. And I'm glad we are, I don't want to be like you... I would never trade places with you I think it sucks to be you. And I also think it sucks that you call me an asshole because I'm not an asshole but I think you often behave like one.

I'm not saying you'll become what you think I am. I'm saying you'll become what I know I am.

For me, it was continually being thoughtfully critical and doubtful about what I read in the bible. I simply could not accept on faith that which was so obviously unreasonable and illogical.
One of the greatest orators of all time certainly helped me along my journey. Anyone who has never read his works is missing out. Robert Green Ingersoll.

Why do you think it's creepy if you don't believe a word of it?

Because you believe it. You said you think it's a fact and you said you are as sure as you are about anything, that I have the most potential to become like what you know you are.

Well, not in every respect, just on some issues(although those same issues may be extremely important as to our species' survival). What's so wrong about that, anyway?
