That is because Chimps are territorial and aggressive. They are also sensuous and playful. It is our lot to reconcile the two.

I had someone walk past me and rest their hand on my shoulder earlier today.

Took all my control not to rip them a new one.

Maybe. Or it could just be because I like being left alone until I don't want that any more.

It only works on pastors.

Or spaghetti.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

More essential than clean water and food that's not rotting? No? Then the money is better spent elsewhere don't you think?

That's fine.  I don't like strangers touching me.

Especially not when they follow up with "Jesus loves you."
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Would not this money be better spent digging wells for clean water, opening schools and medical clinics, advocating for equality for women?

 We do those things in abundance, more than any other group in the world.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
