Sleeping with the enemy

Last night EK gave me a Borders gift card as a Christmas present.

me: Wait...you don't do Christmas.
EK: Well, happy neo-Mithra Day, then.

Later at Borders, in the Religion section:

EK: This is by that Robert Price guy, The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man...
me: Hey, Mark Noll! He spoke at my college earlier this year! [thinks] Would it really piss you off if I used your gift card to buy a book by a Christian theologian?
EK: What's it called?
me: The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind.
EK: Well, it's your present, you can do whatever you want with it. Although I think 'evangelical mind' is an oxymoron.
me: *whacks him on the head with the Noll book*

This morning:

me: I gotta go soon. I'm catching the bus.
EK: Are you sure? I could drive you wherever you need to go.
me: I'm going to church.
EK: Right after you spend the night with your atheist boyfriend?
me: I think it's funnier than an atheist is offering me a ride to church.

And then Pastor Chris quoted Bertrand Russell and Richard Dawkins in his sermon today (audio and video recordings in various formats here). I'm sure nobody else could figure out why I was laughing my ass off.

EK actually came to the International Club lunch with me today. I introduced him to Steve and they promptly got into a PC versus Mac argument. It's like pouring kerosene on the ground and dropping a match in. I am SO turning into the evil manipulative female.
