A guy I knew, when asked by a stranger if he had accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, replied, "No, but I'm tolerant of those who have."
I'M TOTALLY USING THIS!
My purple hair has been a good experience for me. It's interesting to see how people who already know me react. And the people who don't. I get lots of good feedback. I got stopped in a gas station by an older, bearded guy in coveralls who told me he loved it.

I am committing this to memory. I did have one awful flight where a woman was worried about my soul and I tried so hard to both be nice and have the conversation end. I ended up failing on both counts. It was years and years and years ago but it was really stressful.
I have no idea what to get Nephlet. Where does one buy a clue for a fourteen year old boy? Because that's what he desperately needs. And I don't know how to wrap that.

I think I'm gonna try "Well, I've pledged my immortal soul to Satan, but it's OK with him if I see other deities."
I wonder when the next Onerous Task day is? I *still* haven't dealt with FastMac about the defective Mac battery I discovered last October...
I had a friend in college who was very surprised to find out, junior year, that Jews don't believe in Jesus. And she was from the US.
I've been having the same conversation about this with one co-worker for years now. "So what is your family doing for Christmas?" "Oh, we're Jewish." "<blank stare>" "So we don't celebrate Christmas." "You mean, not at all?" "No." "Not even for the kids???"
And she's from New Jersey. Some people just really, really, don't get the concept of non-Christians.
I think that's part of the joke.
tommy gets it in one. The other usual description for it is "Twilight isn't that bad" apparently, but that's nowhere near as amusing to me.
And, fuck, my internet is acting wonky. I need this for work.
yeah...it's only depriving if you're used to doing it and then you don't. I bet Hannukah is lovely, but never having done it, I had cheeseburgers on one of the nights and only thought of it in passing.
That's cultural privilege, though. Assuming everybody misses what you do.
It's like when I tell people that my parents didn't do the whole Santa Claus thing. Like we were deprived somehow because those piles of presents came from our parents. @@
"You mean, not at all?" "No." "Not even for the kids???
Yeah, the kids are Jewish, too.
