Dave Musasha: How to Convert Me
Nice article I'd thought I should share, quite a few religious arguments would be shorter if they read this article.

Civil, even-handed, logically presented.  In brief, fundies won't have the vaguest idea of what he's talking about.

I basically have three major points for any missionaries who try to convert me:

1.
There are many people in the world who are "lost", who don't know what to believe. I am not one of them. I am like you. I am religious. I have my own set of beliefs, which are different from yours. Do not simply tell me what is true and what is false - I may disagree, and have my own set of answers. When you try to get me to convert, you are asking me to abandon those beliefs that I hold dear, and commit what is to me a grievous sin.

2.
I am no stranger to religious debate. I attended a yeshiva for four years. Spirited discussions about morality and philosophy were common, even encouraged. This does benefit you - if you are willing to explain your beliefs in detail, I will be quite receptive. However, I will also expect you to permit me to explain my beliefs in detail. So be careful before you try to convert me... because I just might convert you.


3.
My religion has better food than yours.

Apart from the no bacon and no shell fish. Besides which what if they are Cantonese Confucianists or Taoists. Chinese food beats matza balls.

We have Chinese food too, traditionally eaten on December 25.

still doesn't help with the bacon wrapped lobster stuffed with oysters. Besides which even the traditional 25 December chinese isn't the food of your religion it's just that you still get to have it.

In my religion (unaffiliated) I get to eat Jewish food too.

Even I'd feel guilty eating that.

Change 'oysters' to 'scallops' and I'll go for it.

I've tried lobster and it was probably the biggest waste of money I have ever had.

The flavor was so subtle that it was barely there.  Dip it in butter and all you tasted was butter.  Texture was excellent, but not "expensive" excellent.

As such, I have absolutely no desire to try lobster again.  Sadly.

Now, shrimp...

For me, I have difficulties on removing the shell from lobsters. That's why I like shrimp better, delicious with broccoli and bamboo.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

Never had lobster, myself...don't think I really want to.  I'm willing to jump thru some of your usual hoops to get to the good bits of a dish: cracking open a clam, shelling peanuts, etc.  However, having to take a nut cracker and shatter the god damned thing myself, fuck that.  If the caloric output required to even get to eating the food is greater than what it provides, then why bother, ya know?  (Yes, the last part was intentional hyperbole.)

You may have your lobster, and I'll have my sushi, and all shall be right with the world.
