He is spending hislife competing with hiswife, two different world views at odds with each other.”

*sigh*

Unfortunately, there are some people (and not just athiests) who are so obsessed with being “right” that they could not live with the prospect of being “wrong”. Over time, this subset of people become so entrenched that they would prefer to die wrong than admit to the mistake. In their eyes, looking intelligent outweighs everything.

It’s a pity that so many people focus on how they look in the eyes of man, as the world could be so much better if we all got past our vanity.

As for your boorish “friend” with the language problem, ask him if he would still expect his children to respect him, as it’s gonna be hard for him to feel respected if his kids are cursing at him all the time.

Just a thought…
