Where are my manners?

When did it stop being bad manners to talk about religion and personal belief?

Ninety-nine percent of our problems with polarization and conflict stem from the shift in culture that's made this an acceptable topic of public discourse.

I miss the concept of "boundaries".

Ah, good ol' Jack. There was a little old lady who'd set up a table in the Student Union at college and cover the whole thing with pretty much the full library of Chick Tracts. Given where I was, though, I wasn't entirely surprised.

You know, I think I ended up with a copy of those Archie comics at some point too. They were... kind of unusual. If anything turned me away from organized religion in the past, those have to rank up in the top ten- and they weren't even that far out there as such literature goes. Ah well.
