I was honestly surprised no one would answer my “church or mosque” question. I figured, at minimum, I would get “church is more dangerous b/c [insert liberal “logic” here]”, but no one would answer! That told me they know exactly what the problem is, but they can’t bear to say it out loud. So very, very odd.
Not for nothing; but most people of any political persuasion will not listen or follow an argument long enough to answer a question logically. They just hear/read enough of your words to spark off one of their own favorite rants and off they spout, ignoring what you were saying or asking. Such people just want to hear themselves talk. It’s one of my pet peeves even with close friends who are conservatives. It’s very hard to find a good conversationalist who can listen as well as talk.
