There’s something that I almost have to begrudgingly admire about this guy. Take his perennial quest for a wife— he’s pushing sixty, is a convicted sex offender, lives off of disability, and is a batshit insane fundie who hasn’t shut up about it for twenty years or so. Nonetheless, he’s very lonely and wants to find a woman to settle down with.
Now, he only will accept a much younger woman who is good-looking and in shape, and is willing to submit absolutely to his male authority. Similarly, he will only accept her if she is an independent, fundamentalist baptist and doesn’t wear pants or listen to Taylor Swift. And he’s utterly baffled that he’s still alone.
He does not give up because he’s incapable of introspection. Never does he assume the problem lies with him and he ought to change something about himself. For literally most of my life, he has been saying the exact same stuff with no signs of slowing down.
The guy does not self-reflect. No matter how miserable he is, no matter how much of an ass he makes out of himself, he doesn’t look inward. The thought never even seems to occur to him, and he really thinks he’s the modern Job because it’s apparently considered distasteful to try and hook up at church.
I mean, I’m an agnostic. I only go to church when I’m with family, because it would worry them too much if they knew I’d left. But I’d never try to use church to get laid, out of respect for Christian traditions.
