Yeah, I'll return from time to time. I just needed a couple of days fishing; for fish.
Looks like you're fishing, too. Too bad it's not for fish.
And, yeah, that's me; the religious "creduloid", who mindfully follows the dogma of the RCC, and knows full well that he has no authority to question the teachings which he has sought from the church.
Game, set, match.
You're brainwashed. And you just admitted it.
Sure. Say some more.
Like, what does living in NC have to do with anything?
Where do you live?
Does that say something?
Anyone who's spent time in NC and isn't already a creduloid knows that North Carolina seems to attract people who accept dogma first and push critical thinking to the back of the pack. I lived there (not by choice) for four years (Ft. Bragg - military) - and with the exception of the military guys I worked with, almost everyone I've met in NC has been, without a doubt, a mindless creduloid. Every form of religious nonsense is accepted as law; new and unusual ideas are rejected automatically. Woo rules the roost there; everyone's neighbor is a psychic, and everyone's dated a real vampire before. Etc, etc, etc. I could go on and on...
It was a very ugly four years for someone who was just learning to be skeptic of the world around them.
Hunt, you'd fit in so nicely there.
That's not to say that EVERYONE in NC is like that - but in the eleven counties I spent any time in, almost every native I met was exactly like that.
And the vast majority of them believe in Bigfoot, alien abductions, the second Coming of Christ, and the infallibility of Sylvia Brown, et. al. You can also, apparently, marry your first cousins legally in North Carolina.
As for where I live - Ohio - I don't know much about the people from the state in general; I know a handful of people in Cincinnati, and I can tell you a few things about the natives: they have no taste in food (they think 'chili' is a dish with cinnamon poured over spaghetti), very Canadian taste in clothing (flannel shirts are ALWAYS in), and an absurd apathy about most issues that people go 'up in arms' over. But neither skeptic nor woo seems to dominate; rather, the predominant attitude is one of endlessly seeking drama.
You wouldn't fit in too well here, though, Hunt - most folks here actively question the religious dogma the church tries to feed them, and realize that the RCC is nothing but a vast political organization founded by humans and run by humans - and as corrupt as any other organization on Earth.
Do you question the policies and decisions of your government? If so, why don't you question the policies and decisions of your religion? If not, you're a creduloid - plain and simple.
But we knew that already.
Did you catch any fish? I freed a dozen people in the time you were away, by the way. You may be a fisher of men, but I'm a freer of minds.
