While sipping coffee in the faculty lounge, a colleague chided me for dwelling too much on subjects of a serious nature. A self-proclaimed agnostic, he said, “Christians, especially you Protestants, take life too seriously. Life is for enjoyment, which your serious nature disallows.”
“Since you brought up religion — because I’m a Christian, I don’t believe a middle ground exists between believers and non-believers.”
“So, I am an atheist, not an agnostic?”
