Behind The Big E

Can anyone think of a better way to spend their friday afternoon than listening to a religious lecture? That might as well have been a comedy club, because I was almost in tears.

Stereotypes are a funny thing, sometimes there is a bit of truth under that ugly, yet amusing shell. In this case, it was pretty true, given the amount of “side stepping”, subject changing, and flat out lying that was going on. Like always, reason got us nowhere, as the lecture quickly elevated to heated debate, and even at one point a shout-fest. You really need to verify everything every person says in order to get anywhere, otherwise it just turn into a circular battle of “YA HUH!”… “NUH UUUHH!!!”, which is rather painful to listen to. Best part by far was the logic that we shouldn’t have fish fossils because they float when they die…. Yes, he was serious about that. *sigh*

But, as always, it’s the subtle inconsistencies with reality that we all see combined with the completely outrageous claims that form our decisions, not that anyone changed their world view because of this anyways, well not mine at least. Guess that means I’m just as thick headed as everyone else. Oh well, at least I try.
