Old times is weird times
Last night, I met up at the Raven & Firkin in Ajax with Rawl and a guy I hadn't seen since high school. Back in Grade 8, I hung around a bit with Jason, but in high school, we didn't see much of each other. And then we went to different high schools starting in Grade 11 and completely lost touch (which is kind of odd, because we lived on the same street). So I hadn't seen him in a very long time.
Drinks were good, though. For the most part, discussions revolved around old times and what's happened since. However, the conversation came back to religion a couple of times, which was kind of weird. It's always an uncomfortable subject for me (mostly because I grew tired a long time ago of people trying to convert me -- and it doesn't take much of it to send me into a heated argument), but at least I don't have the raging hatred I once had for any and all kinds of religion. It seems Jason is fairly heavily involved with what sounds like a cross between a church, a youth group and an old-style coffee house. Interesting idea.

I figure the problem with people trying to force their religious beliefs on you has only two true solutions:
1) Nod politely and learn to ignore them.
2) Cull large portions of the population in a raging frenzy of blood and gore.
Since I'm too lazy to properly execute #2 I've been practicing nodding while mentally plugging my ears for a while now.
