Spirtual pick-up lines
Several years ago, the sister of a woman I was dating- a lapsed Lutheran (well, ELCAn)- explained in my presence that, "I'm not religious- but that doesn't mean that I'm not spiritual."
I wonder why she ever left the ELCA...
Well. The Corner, the blog of National Review Online, has been featuring a thread by Jonah Goldberg on what he calls "Voodoo Atheists-" alleged "rationalists" with no time for conventional religion, who are nevertheless willing to entertain any whacked-out superstition you can imagine, as long as it doesn't mean that they have to believe in the Christian God.
It seems that my ex-girlfriend's sister has provided me with an extremely effective pick-up line on college campuses and environs.
It's probably just as well that my Old Adam didn't realize it.
Oh, the banality of the pseudo-sophisticate!
