Rebes: i'll let you borrow my copies!!
me: why do bad things happen?

me: why are there things in life that don't require sorcery?
i can't live in a world without it
Rebes: cause there are muggles

11:49
well martin, i think you should, you know, give it a try
i'd love to talk through things you don't get
11:50

like why she stinking ______ ___ ____!!!!

me: God is a she?
Rebes: (serenity now)
=p
11:51
me: what is serenity now

Rebes: me calming myself
to explain
haha
11:52
me: oh haha
11:53
Rebes: ah well, i'ts bummer to know all of this stuff
and kind of a bummer that there's no longer any mystery in harry potter to anticipate
life goes on though
there are other joys
haha
me: is harry potter a young book or an old book?
Rebes: what do you mean?
11:55
me: well some people say that jk rowling wrote the book in the last 7,000 years, while some people maintain it's been billions of years in the making. how can we know what's the true answer is?
11:56
Rebes: ...
you didn't let it die did you
me: of course not
i wanna keep going
Rebes: just read them, and you'll understand
11:57
i'll give you a piece of candy!
two pieces?
11:58
me: well i'm interested in learning more
maybe sometime you could take me to a book signing or something
Rebes: sweet!
i'll even let you borrow my copy
haha
11:59
me: it's just, i've been burned by fantasy authors in the past, and i'm just unsure as to why this one is any different, you know?
Rebes: i think you'll find it truly enriching
hahaha
oh man, you do this well
me: how do you know that the fantasy author you choose is the one?
Rebes: haha, well, i have an answer for that for jesus, but not for harry potter
12:01
I can't answer all of your questions martin, but i think your interest is wonderful, and please, let me know if you need any encouragement along the way
12:03
are we done playing?
me: fine
i suppose i'm satisfied
