JZ, condescending people never learn that they're condescending! Even if you convince them that they're wrong, they'll find some way to make it so that they can claim they've been right the whole time. It's pointless and frustrating and you have way better things to do.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Where's Trudy? I've talked you down so many times. Your turn. Please?
Oh, noes! Are you reading Salon letters, JZ? Back away from the crazy, dear lady.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No, not Salon. Worse, a blog connected to a conservative Catholic site. They're trying to explain to my poor benighted self how my belief that God sees everyone's value, wants us all to use our gifts, and has in fact been hinting that women's ordination should be accepted except that the male power structure is afraid and resistant to any change proves that they are happy, I am miserable, I hate men, and I believe in a small and petty God and they feel sorry for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
JZ, tell them that an atheist you know thinks they suck.
OK, that probably won't help.
I dunno. I got no advice except don't talk to them. It sounds like they're too close-minded to actually consider your position.

"Conversations end when one man calls another a douchebag, Eric...uh, JZ." Call them a douchebag and walk away.

“Not dead yet!”
Nestor Carbonell has unspeakably pretty eyes.
¡Mi gente! He's not only lovely, he's incredibly smart and cultured. He's one of those guys who makes me all melty.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Step away. When people are trying to convince you that equality in God's eyes=pettiness, there is no logic to be found.
