Hail Eris.

I was just approached by a Campus Crusade for Christ member who wanted me to take a "survey." We only talked for about five minutes, but I did my best to blow her mind as much as I could in that period--I certainly succeeded in monopolizing the conversation and derailing her script completely. I gave a very abbreviated version of my religious journey. I gave a quick summary of Discordianism and, being a bad Discordian, attempted to articulate a logic behind it. I talked about the connections between my Christianity and my Discordianism and my relationship with Goddess. I pulled out the Leonardo Boff quote (you guys know the one, right? I had this laptop out, so I just typed "leonardo boff alixtii" into Google) about the interrelationships of the concepts of experience, faith, and belief. She gave me a pamphlet (she was supposed to keep it and just walk me through it, but again, the completely derailed script--she skipped two questions entirely) entitled "Would You Like to Know God Personally?" which I'll enjoy sporking when I'm particularly bored one day.

Man, I love those people. I got approached by one in undergrad. She was all cute and perky, as the CCC people usually are. She asked if she could give me a survey, and I bemusedly accepted. The first question was, "Do you think you're going to heaven?" I smiled and said, "No." And she had no idea how to respond. She sort of tried to go on, but all the following questions assumed that I had said, "Yes, of course I'm going to heaven!" and then she would expose the error of my belief and welcome me into evangelical-protestant-Christ's arms.

Was I really the first agnostic she'd ever met?
