- why I hit an absolute impasse with my sociology of religion professor when he decided to get down to brass tacks and said, “We all believe some things are good and some things are bad, right?”
- why I look at you as if you were Martian when you make certain moral or theological assumptions, or conclusions, or, frequently, conclusions that are also your assumptions
