      Lol, you mean “go outside”? Pretty high bar for some internet denizens.

      I’ve had plenty of conversations with religious folks that didn’t touch upon their holy texts at all. And plenty of conversations with atheists that were interminably about what they thought those texts said.

      Whenever someone generalizes a group so drastically like this, I tend to wonder about how limited their life experiences must be.

        You don’t like their generalizations so you make your own, outstanding.

        On similar note, whenever someone is basing their entire lives around some fictional ancient nonsense I wonder the same. Especially when they are so bent on shoving it up everyone’s arses.
