That European cafe is what I want from the religion forum. Hour upon hour, but with respect.

I can smell the cigarettes and taste the rich stark espresso in the demitasse in my hand.

Just a place where I’m free to say “I think you believe X and I disagree” and the other guy is free to say “I don’t believe x, I believe non(x)...you missed (a) (b) and (c)” and I’m free to say “I don’t think I missed them, but I see why you agree non(x); I don’t agree, but I understand...”

And so on.

Cough, cough. :) I'll be sitting at one of the umbrella tables on the sidewalk, usually with a cup of tea. Once in a while an espresso would be heavenly.

It sounds lovely.
