deviant conveniences (Free verse) by J.B. Manning

We had unprotected sex Knowing youâre infected Your cum-fungus blistered my flesh On contact Memories of you resonate in my mind Like water on windows Certainty fades like Daylight and looking back is easyâ¦fore-site blinding Love is addictive and Iâm broken I want to Tie your pubic hair in knots and hang you on your contemplation Every time You say goodbye.

You're going off on your own on a wild rant that's not related to anything in the conversation so far.

1. Nothing about pleasure has been mentioned, or whether it's good to submit to pleasure. You've made a series of silly implications and are now ranting about what you think I would think about pleasure, even though the subject hadn't even been raised.

2. I don't think it's artificial because it can't be "captured in a test tube". I think it's artificial because there are no verification or falsification conditions for it. What evidence would you have to see to stop believing in souls? What evidence could I see for me to start believing in souls? In both cases, there is no such thing. No evidence could have any bearing on whether souls exist, because believing in souls is a superstition that can neither be proved nor disproved.

3. "That was not my question it was yours". Well, you know, that is the topic of this argument, i.e. whether believing in "spirituality" is a wishy-washy platitude.

4. "I know the issue of God is one that you still wrestle with".

No, it actually isn't. After five years of studying philosophy and innumerable arguments with innumerable Christians, the question of whether God exists is, to me, beyond stupid. I would rather eat my own foot than have one more argument about God. Luckily, that isn't what we're talking about.
