I had breakfast with some friends, including friend of friend, a UC Berkeley know it all who decided the breakfast conversation...
Anyway he blames the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, bla bla Berkeley bla... on religion...
I shut him down pretty good.
"There are examples of secular societies. Find me one that was less corrupt..."
Sputter.
"Slavery. That's as old as religion. Who were the first people who ended it? Poland in the 15th century. It doesn't get more Catholic than that."
Sputter.
"Love your brother. Be kind to those that oppose you. I didn't find those in the atheist cookbook".
Sputter.
One liberal shut down like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Poor bastard couldn't even resort to personal insults, which would be the norm. We have a business relationship which requires him to be polite.
We've been talking about doing an internet startup. That was what breakfast was about. I'm hoping this guys work ethic is better than his breakfast conversation.
Perhaps this the the replacement for saying grace in SoCal.
