I turn 50 years old july 19 and me and my wife and her friend Vivian are going to Colorado Springs and Denver tommorow. They are both catholic and my wife made me promise not to talk about religion with Vivian so if she says something like "Look how great god made the view" I have to keep my mouth shut! Got to go the the zoo and aquariums when we get there. Its about 6 hours from where I am.
Happy birthday and let's see what you have learned about travelling with women over the years.
Sounds like a bummer... it reminds me of this song when I'm treated like that by well-intentioned people that don't get it.
She should also make Vivian promise not to talk about religion to you, and not to mention God in your presence. Otherwise that's a very one sided arrangement.
Exactly!
Not being rude mate...harden up. You're not allowed to express your view? Honestly, to an Aussie, that's a red rag to a bull. If my wife ( if I had one, last one got a meth habit ) said that, its shitstirring time lol.
Give those cods you got between your legs a day out, live on the edge! Its your damn birthday soon!! If she opens up about god...hit her for a 6 ( or home run in your case ).
You know what! Leave em at the zoo...piss off to a tattoo parlour and get the Atheist A tattooed on the side of your neck....be a REBEL!
@5082gregory Good stuff old bean ?
The Astos and the Athletics are going to be there next week ?
@5082gregory any port in a storm brother. ?
Denver and Cheyenne Mtn. have good zoos. Nothing wrong with saying something like..."I always admire the way evolution shaped scales into feathers...isn't it COOL?" I've given zoo tours for almost 30 years and LOVE finding ways to slip evolution into a discussion. You can always rave about a book called "Your Inner Fish." It's a perfect description of the evolutionary process...made for the ignorant. Good luck!
So talk about it with yourself in front of her lol. "Wow what an amazing thing nature and science has created under specific variables and factors. Isn't erosion and region specific vegetation with optimal growing conditions amazing..."
If I have the opportunity to do so, I will say that nature has played such an amazing part in earth's creation over eons of time and is so much more wonderful to understand how it happened than earth just being popped into existence in an instant as is.
@jlynn37 it makes you appreciate it so much more knowing how remarkable the process over ages and ages to create the world happened and the complete coincidence that you're alive at just the right spot in time to appreciate it
The restriction should go both ways. If neither of you talk about gods or whatever, you end up with a secular trip.
she has the right to express her self but so do you regardless of belief
And?
@5082gregory no but thanks for the insightful comment your my hero
