When Israel strikes its “retaliation”? That’s bull. It’s all terror and violence for religion.

Two theocracies at war. Like two dictators at war.

Religion will be the death of us.

I've been hanging out with a female friend I've known for about 30 years. We're both in our 40s. Neither one of us is married, but she has a daughter from prior relationship. One night when we were hanging out, she asked me if I was going to church the next day since it was a Sunday.

This opened up a conversation about religion and what we each believed. I explained I grew up going to church, played bass guitar in church for the kids, etc. I explained that I hadn't been to church in a long time, but I still consider myself Christian.

I asked if she was Catholic since she had mentioned that before, and she confirmed she was. I said my dad's side of the family is Catholic (mom's side is more protestant) but the only time I went to mass is when my paternal grandmother took me one time.

She asked if I had been baptized. I said the funny thing about that is I have memories of being baptized at a very young age, but for some reason I have memories that I wasn't baptized for some reason.

We then talked about the schools we went to. My parents sent me to Baptist school until jr. high and high school when I decided to go to public school while my sisters went on to Catholic high school. She asked why I didn't want to go to Catholic school. I said it's not that I didn't want to go. I chose public school, because a lot of my friends at the time were going there.

Do you think she was gauging whether we are religiously compatible?
