Like a lot of these, I gotta throw in a "well, that's not always the way it is," but in general, I agree.

Stephonknee, years ago, I had a girlfriend who was passionate about my feelings. After a lot of bad noise, it ended with the police kicking her door in at 2 in the morning. I think I'd rather have someone who just cared about my feelings. That seems a lot safer.

Anon, this also applies to most people's "beliefs" as well.

I blame the New Left. Seriously.

Thanks for this, IA. Had to be said.

You seem pretty passionate about this.

Torgo i actually agree with you! The famous last line of this I, A reads "When you say "I'm passionate about [something]," that becomes the one thing that I absolutely will not talk to you about."

i figured if i said i was passionate about she/he's feelings, then I, A would stop talking about them.
Lastly, there is no such thing as a "logical disenchant"

Well, fine but how do you feel about Passionfruit,hmm?

Passion fruit is named for the passion of Christ, so as an atheist I'm against it. Sure, why not?
