It’s not ARGUING! It’s just showing the WORLD what DUMBASSES these guys are! You should PAY ME for that!

I don’t understand it, to be honest. It may be cultural. To learn two ways to handwrite is a waste of time, agreed, but why choose the one which was not thought to be handwritten?

Yeah you’re not wrong but if you’re a lonely poor man, not only you suffer of poorness and loneliness, but the society says that it’s your fault because you don’t open up to people. Even if you’re very emotionally intelligent, you feel like you’re not enough.

Polls show that men aren’t significantly lonelier than women. Poor people are significantly lonelier than others. So loneliness is not something men’s bad “emotional intelligence” cause, it’s something the society imposes.

In France, children learn only cursive. It’s kind of strange to learn how to manually write like a typewriter…

French pastor here: at least in France, I am bound by professional secrecy, except for crimes. If I hear someone committed a crime, even more so if it’s a repeated offense, I can and will report it. I believe it’s the same for other professions, except perhaps lawyers: if a doctor learn that someone did or do a crime, they have to report it.

It’s probably different in your country, I just said that because I find that interesting.

Do you believe your wife will go to hell?

No. I don’t believe in all that “you have to confess Jesus as your personal lord and saviour to avoid hell” crap. It’s in fact something not very widespread outside evangelicalism. I believe the Cross is working mysteriously, far outside the frontier of the visible Church. A God who condemns people that doesn’t recognize him is not a loving God, it’s a pervert. I believe that “to confess Jesus as my personal lord and saviour” is a way to live a better life here and now, and I don’t expect an eternal reward for that.

Is she agnostic or does she believe there is no god?

I’d say she’s agnostic atheist. She doesn’t know if God exist, but believes he does not, and in fact doesn’t care.

I’m a Christian pastor happily married to an atheist, AMA.
