I’ve a conversation with a friend about a movie and there happen to be a character who is religious. And well, I stated my point of view that it seems to be her way of feeling less guilty. And my friend got defensive.
In the end, I just ended the topic and talk about something else…

There are a lot of people who are defensive. I think if you are defensive, you tend to be defensive about everything, not just one subject.
I’ve to agree with you… I guess it’s just that it happens a few times (other incidents) and I came to this conclusion which may not be fair to other religious people…
