Most likely, people view me as either A or B or a combination of the two. I find that rather offensive, to be honest. I'd rather be considered a pure HERETIC and EVIL than simply intellectually misled or lacking in self-control.Bradley
Brad,
Don't you think your relationship with your mom would be very different depending on how she viewed you ?
Evil Heretic
or just
Mislead/Weak
Wouldn't it effect your life greatly if she looked at you as an evil heretic ?
Honesty may be the best policy but having a dub think clearly and honesty usually isn't an option
That you're a heretic may be the honest truth, but they see that thru blinded eyes that conclude that you're evil
Since you're not evil, what they're thinking isn't either the truth or honest
So all that ends up being accomplished is that a relationship crippling barrier is raised
No good can come from her thinking that you are evil
