glad you brought that up.
I came up with the phrase "myrrh bait" on another thread, feeling guilty that I was talking a lot of trash about something that he's devoted his whole life towards. The phrase is a form of self mockery *because* i know that we expect him to be our islamist whipping boy. The fact that his responses are always mature and gracious has been the greatest argument he's ever made for Islam. It doesn't mean I want to walk on egg shells around him either.
Ever notice that the two forbidden subjects in polite society: religion and politics, are same two dominant tools humans use to control other humans?
edit: weird. i did a search and couldn't find any post where I used the term before this thread. maybe I dreamed it. maybe I need to up the meds.
