[Mark] No, we do not have to trudge through it once you understand it to be true.
[Arlo] Don't hold your breath for me to understand nonsense to be "true". [Mark] What I hear from you is unquestioning faith. [Arlo] That's your problem, not mine. [Mark] As if what you believe could not be wrong. This is religion to its extreme. [Arlo] This is the worst "logic" I have seen in a while. In your zeal to portray everything as "faith" and "religion" you are only making yourself look foolish. [Mark] I can see I will not convince you otherwise. [Arlo] No, you will never convince me "its all just flavors of faith". I left that sort of insipid nonsense behind back when I started actually thinking. [Mark] Some day it will hit you like a diamond bullet. [Arlo] If it hits me it will be more like a lobotomy. [Mark] There is nothing derogatory about religion except your attitude. [Arlo] I share Pirsig's attitude. [Mark] Everything is a system of belief. No better no worse. [Arlo] Well. There you have it. Understanding the earthquake that hit Haiti as the result of plate tectonics and geological forces is a "system of belief", no better and no worse that understanding it as retribution of a angry god against a people who practice voodoo and made a pact with the devil. Pathetic. [Mark] Go ahead, consider yours to be better, just don't go marching into war, and shoot all those religious people. [Arlo] I don't think your getting enough oxygen to your brain.
