It was serendipity I'm afraid. This piece was written last week and then scheduled for now... fitting neatly into the break between Amber Heard and Roe v. Wade. It's been somewhat chaotic for a bird who likes to reply to comments. I need to stop being controversial. :o/

I don't really talk about religion very much, I think I got it all out of my system a while ago. It doesn't really intersect with my life all that much anymore and I've generally found many of the Christians I've met to be the most unpleasant people. Not always, but enough to make me wary. That included my ex in-laws.

My ex was hoping I'd be converted over the time we were together, they moved into a more liberal and atheist position when the sex started. With all the religious backpeddling that sort of thing entails.. We were young, 17 and 20 when we got together and we both grew up a lot over our relationship. I never found a better person to debate doctrine with though and so now I leave it alone.

The hope I'd convert was always there underpinning our relationship and I never did. My then mother-in-law cried when she found out we were dating and read Ephesians 6:10-17 to my ex.. it's legit the best review I've had as a person. Compared with actual Satan. I was also very clear that I don't really believe in marriage.

We do seem to hold some similar core values and I suspect we'd likely get on rather well in person. You remind me very much of my longest serving friend (I count friends like jail time) and we disagree about everything, but thoroughly enjoy doing so. If you're ever in London then let me know and we must do coffee. :o)
