If I had known it was going to be so uncomfortablely cramped and openly manipulatively evangelcal Christianized, I would have spent the day alone. I get very cranky when placed in that environment (as you noticed). I feel like yelling "Wake up and see reality!" to all those zombies happily following their leaders. It amazes me that people don't see the manipulation and even LIKE the manipulation. Boggles the mind.
A lot of what he said does make sense, but requires huge committment and large amounts of painful sacrifice. Hence the large guilt trip for your "motivation" per the christian influence.
Thanks for thinking of me and seeing my misery, but it was ultimately my choice to come along even though it was uninformed as to the actual experience being offered. Oh well.
I think I could tolerate one hour of interesting people watching experiences if I had soft seats and climate controlled environment. After that point I would have my fill. I get so frustrated with deluded people trying to influence and manipulate me to be deluded too. Sigh. Not enough patience and ability to detach myself, I guess.
