[af_vet_1981]

I am not interested.

Yes, I admit I am bitter. I practiced what was preached in modern America’s churchianity, and was punished.

In which type of church(es) or faith communities did you have these experiences ?

Your tale rings a bell and I expect there were women interested in you earlier in the story whose interest you did not reciprocate. Such is the human condition.

I like Leonard Cohen's dry wit when he wrote :

Now maybe there's a God above,
As for me, all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
and it's no complaint you hear tonight,
and It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah.

[Fightin Whitey]

That is a fine verse.

And the rhyme of ‘who outdrew ya’ and ‘Hallelujah’ is even finer.

And the award goes to af vet 1981, for best musical reference in a battle of the sexes thread.

[KC Burke]

When I found mine I told her:

Baby, I’ve been searching like everybody else
Can’t say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I’m an angel and sometimes I’m cruel
And when it comes to love, I’m just another fool
Yes, I’ll climb a mountain
I’m gonna swim the sea
There ain’t no act of God, girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I’m asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion
