Of course, he didn't date anyone for the three years we lived together. Silly idea Jake. Silly analogy. This isn't even sporting.>>
No I don't think that every woman is a potential partner. But the analogy
worked. You seem to understand the difference now between "in principle" and
"in practice". When it comes to rational criticism, I can be like your
roomate, even though both your roomate and I understand the realities of how
in practice we can't play out our respective processes to actually either fuck
every potential partner, or rationally criticize every justification
completely.
This realization has nothing to do with faith.
