I do picture Mani as a lonley figure. I can imagine him sitting at home and hoping for a text or a phone call and when none materialises he thinks that people are rejecting him because he's a christian, when in reality people dont want to be around him becasuse he lacks empathy and love and only knows how to live by ridgid rules that deny him the chance to really get to know and understand other humans. The sad thing is, he's brought it on himself by being closed minded to the needs and wants of others.
Hard to say isnt it? As I say, I do visualise Mani as being like a lonley mad mullah. Theland comes across as a middle class, middle aged, type. Fingerprint, the same. You seem to be a youngish type (24?).
I reckon most people would get on.
I have a friend that is a pastor of a pentecostal church, we meet up every now and then for a big mac and a chat (went the panto at xmas with him) but our frienship started in an unusual way and not dissimilar to A.B. The letters page in our local paper were printing letters from christians spouting off the usual religious nonsense and me (being me) replied in kind...showing people what the bible REALLY said, as opposed to what the christians were writing. At times the correspondence was like you get on here, vitriol from both sides. This pastor, in the letters page, accused me of wanting to justify my "sinful life" and accused me of trying to lead people away from christianity.This really narked me, so I decided to pay his church a visit. After the sunday night service he came to me and introduced himself. His face was a picture when I told him who I was...his antagonist in the letters page

We had a chat and we actually got on really well and swapped phone numbers. To cut a long story short we became friends despite our differences and as I say we meet up every few weeks for dinner (the last time we had tea at his house and he taught us how to play cludeo, so he cant be all bad..lol) He does try the "saving your soul" thing from time to time but we agree to disagree and I can accept him (and his missus) even though I dont accept his beliefs. We even still cross swords now and then in the letters pages but because we know each other personally
its now a source of amusement instead of vitriol.
I definitly think if we all got together it would be the same.
(exept for Mani of course, who is to far gone to make any attempt at reasonable relationships)

Wiz, I think I love you!! 24?!! Well, I made your day, and now you've made mine! Ha! I won't tell you how old I am because I'm in complete and utter denial, but I will tell you I've been married to my second husband for 18 years (although my one saving grace is that he's a toy boy by several years!).
Good story. I have friends from various religions - Muslim, Jewish, Christian, a Buddhist or two, and even a witch. Although I do have big debates with some of them - always the Christians - it never gets to a point where we fall out, I'm pleased to say. I'm sure if we all got together, the discussion might get a little heated, but it would be kept within bounds, and the outcome would be amicable.

Wiz, funny you should say that (about thinking Luna was a woman - not about your thimble!). I thought exactly the same - and for the same reason! Our Luna does have a canny sort of a wisdom - just like Luna Lovegood!
And pleeease don't offer him your thimble - you're ok - you're not going to boogie with him!

No need to apologise Wiz for my mistaken gender.
That happens to a lot of people on this site.
The only reason I didn't post a pic of myself after you graced our screens is that for you, it would be like looking in a mirror (almost) except my hairline has receded to a wider parting and my London,Italian,Irish,German ancestry makes me look like a Chinese person. (No disrespect to anyone from China). Apart from that I'm sure if we walked into the Answerbank Ball at about the same time, some might say we were brothers.

Morning chaps,
Luna, listen very carefully ... I shall say this only once. Forget the thimble, forget the posing pouch, stick with the purple flares and the singing. That I can cope with! Do you really look like Wiz?
Wiz, Unless the multi-faceted Doctor Spock can do impressions, we won't have many coming to the ball.
Doctor Spock: Need to do a quick headcount. Can you do impressions?
