My brother used to annoy me all the time when we were younger...

When we were kids, my younger brother knew how to push my buttons. He knew that repetition of any annoying phrase or song would get to me eventually, especially when we were trapped together on long car rides.

Looks like Guillaumeb has been talking to my brother:

I have been forced to think about my own position on religion due to some comments he has made, and regardless of my ultimate "answers" at least thoughts have been thought.

His latest tactic is just an annoyance and I cannot really understand why he is using it. I would have asked him to explain, but I figured he would just tell me he was happy I agreed with him!

That is the intent, that is the goal, to annoy.

He just never struck me as the type to do that intentionally. I mean, my brother did grow up eventually!

Me, I'm betting I live forever in a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful place after I die. Why wouldn't you bet on that, too?
