Reply #29: this reminds me of a conversation i had [View All]

with a coworker just last Friday.

I've always thought she was pretty cool - we have similar backgrounds and sort of hold the same values. it always bothered me tho that she didn't consider herself a liberal - like she was afraid of the label or soemthing, but i've yet to hear any of her beliefs and find them to not be a belief held by the left.

In any case, as the conversation progressed she told me she's recently been Born Again. I was floored - but she said it's been difficult, and she's trying to make peace with things...like the factt hat she's unequivocally Pro-Choice, and that while she believes Gays deserve the same rights straights do, she doesn't beleive in Gay Marriage. She went on to explain that she doesn't believe Marriage should be defined by the Government at all, and that Unions should be legally defined but marriage is for the religious institution of your choice. I wholeheartedly agree with ehr and told her that was a far left opinion, not a conservative one.


Then we kept talking, (she voted for Kerry), and she hit me with something that thoroughly insulted me, which i didn't realize til later:

She said - Do you believe that Christ dies ont he cross for your sins, and that you are born sinful? i said - Hell no. She said well then you're not a real Christian.

in hindsight that pisses me off. Knowing what i know of her history, she has flitted from religion to religiona nd history to history her entire life, so i'm hoping this is just a phase, but i'd really like to bring her back to the "dark side" i'm just not sure how to go about doing it.
