In reply to the discussion: I have not seen a post from Rug for awhile ..... ?? [View all]Fix The Stupid
(947 posts)62. I actually pity the man...honest truth.
Imagine living your whole life believing this nonsense...I mean your WHOLE life...
I think in some people the realization that they could have been deluded for SO MANY YEARS is just too much for their minds to comprehend and this is how they act...it's all projection with him.
Once you noticed the patterns, it became obvious to me.
One thing is clear - he was a very smart man. Very witty. I also respected his anti-war positions - he took on many of DU's sacred cows in other forums...he was definitely not afraid of engaging them and I admit I agreed with him probably 100% of the time - except for anything in this forum
I'll admit I goaded him a bit on exorcism...I just wish he would have stated something like this, instead of the usual snark..." Yes, exorcism is a part of the catholic church - Yes, it's a hold over from centuries past and it is one of the facets of this religion I think is silly and needs reformed..." Something along those lines would have permanently made me stop posting about exorcism and the catholic church - he just could never get there...
FYI - I was raised catholic, stopped going when I was around 11 or 12 - I saw thru it then and my parents let me opt out of all that stuff - a few years later, they got out too...so I know a bit about the catholic lifestyle.
