So, what was the right answer? Should I make up some bullshit non- truth just to keep your dick sucking self happy? I don't believe and I do think I ever have. If that brings you down, that's a bummer. But it's not my problem. Knock on someone else's door like a good Mormon or JW.

I don't know what niggers behaving like niggers has to do with my faith or lack of. If I pray to something that I don't believe in, somehow that will end the rioting? If I were to pray for anything it'd be to see live rounds fired into the crowd. If I had a God, he'd be good with that.

Having had a health scare a few months ago that a couple of people here know about, I didn't start throwing prayers. At that point, it just never went through my mind. Put me into your scenario, who knows? I know myself well enough to know a simple truth...that you never know how you'll react to a given situation until you get there. Desperation is a powerful emotion. To say there's no way something like that would lead me to getting right with the Man is just not possible. I honestly don't know.

My girl is pretty religious and pretty sincere about it. Not sincere enough to drag out of bed on Sunday for services. But I can respect that. My kid goes to a religious school and I'm pretty good with that. A small price to pay for a superior education. On nights I'm home, I participate in his bedtime prayers. It's a family thing and I happily play along. If a friend is going through some pain and asks for prayers, I oblige. It ain't for me, it's for them. A small price to pay to give someone just a little peace of mind at a rough time. At the end of the day, thinking good thoughts for someone can't hurt.

Faith and belief are both fairly deep things that need more than a simple "yay" or "nay" answer. Sure, you can read everything into a couple of word answer, but you're not a very bright bulb. I'd give more credit to FBF than you in a heartbeat. At the surface he was asking a yes or no question, but he's searching for something deeper than the yes or no. He can see farther the end of his nose. You can't. Maybe if the end of your nose wasn't buried in some dude's pelvis all the time, you'd be able to see that. Naw, probably not.
