Marilyn Mach vos Savant, who has been gifted by God with enough intelligence and reason to prove God really doesn't exist, once offered the following scenario: persons A and B are discussing/arguing, and A is showing extreme tolerance to B by patiently listening while B is spouting pure unadulterated nonsense; what A usually never realizes is that B may (or certainly may not, but whatever) be displaying the same virtue at the same time. I face-planted into this concept a few weeks ago when I met a man on the blogosphere who wasn't listening to or having any of my very-sensible argument that the Roman Catholic Church (which he conveniently and irritatingly abbreviated to RCC several times) was and is the Church: the original and best. He seemed to believe that Protties either were right in the first place or were themselves in the first place.
Really?
Now, I'm not bitter, but this is non-thinking. His claim that studying the Church Fathers doesn't support this makes me think he believes that Chritianity--okay, I'm bitter. You try talking to him, then!

One of the more-obvious drawbacks of growing up without a father is that I have no idea about the proper use of aftershave. I tried to post earlier today that I had on impulse bought some aftershave for the first time last night, and put it on this morning while preparing for work. Considering that in my immediate area, people took to breathing through their mouths and looking at me as if I really were the special-est, I thought it prudent to wash it off. Too much of a good thing is too much, apparently. Thanks, Daddy, one more way you've ruined my life!
