I get what Engine09 is talking about, though. Younger Sliver enjoyed talking about religion with religious people way more than current Sliver. Now if feels patronizing to even humour the silliness and obvious absurdity of it all. I think it shows all over my face that you may as well be talking to me about the tooth fairy as the one true god that is actually three guys, but it's a monotheistic religion because that all makes perfect sense.
I suppose it is natural for us to become more sedentary in our beliefs as we get older, but I don't think this is something about which anyone should be proud. Conversations with others is how we fix the problem; not by dismissing them as absurd.
