“We believe…”
Begin a sentence with those two words and my mind drifts away.
“…that there is only one true…”
Deeper, deeper, my thoughts travel to a place without ears, eyes…
“…are you listening?!”
I reply, “Did you know there are 51 galaxies near ours?”
“We weren’t discussing galaxies!”
“Don’t you ever wonder what the countless beings circling the suns of a million habitable planets believe?”
“When I talk to you, it’s like…like talking to a ROCK!”
“What kind of rock?” I ask. “The type you’d take for granite, one that’s gneiss, or you just don’t give a schist?”
I chuckle as a shallow stream of indignance flows past my door.
You really hit rock bottom. You need to delete this post and start with a clean slate.

😁 Puns are so much fun. 😁
The “belief” is rather a fill-in-the-blank, since not all belief falls under the realm of science and religion. As in…”We believe that there is only one true way to eat spaghetti, you must roll it on your fork.”

When we first put a 5 foot fence around the property, I was surprised to find 2 nicely dressed young men knocking on my front door. They wanted to tell me all about what they believed. I told them I have a fence for a reason — and they were trespassing.
There is a difference between discourse and mental trespassing. 😏

I’ll listen to anyone share their thoughts or beliefs… if they will return the favour. But I don’t hold with imposing them…

Exactly. 😊
My son and I have differing opinions on politics, and yet at the end of our discourse we still love each other. Where I have a problem can be summed up like this (and I really do hate the fruit).
KIA (know-it all) “Here, try some cantaloupe.”
ME: “It smells and tastes like vomit to me.”
KIA: “Then you’ve never eaten a good cantaloupe. Here, try some…”
ME: “What part of NO don’t you understand?”
KIA: “You need to have an open mind…”
My better half knows I have strange taste buds and is kind enough to cut and eat cantaloupe when I’m at work. 😊

I’m open to most things, when properly presented.. but taste-buds, oddly, are not 😉
