God forbid we talk about God.

God forbid we talk about the bible.

God forbid we talk about politics.

God forbid we talk about homosexuals.

God forbid we talk about the war.

God forbid we talk about immigration.

God forbid we talk about pornography.

God forbid we talk about race.

God forbid we talk at all.

That way, we can all slink back into our comfy little corners self-assured that our own opinions are the right opinions and then, when people do not agree with our opinions, we can resort to violence to solve what might have been resolved through dialogue… if only we were willing to, God forbid, talk.

People baffle me.
