if your partner falters or strays away, it’s also your fault.
Haha, this reminds me of what happened to me when I was around 15 or 16-year-old :D
I had just stumbled upon the pages of Union of Freethinkers of Finland (Link to Wikipedia) and had read most of their relatively long page of “Critique on bible”. Here’s that page on Archive.org. (These should translate very well if you copypaste them to DeepL )
So, I had spent a couple of hourse reading about ways how the Bible contradicts itself. Then my doorbell rang. And I kept asking these “the Bible is supposed to be interpreted literally” people explanations for why the bible says that “X = 1” here and “X != 1” here, and “Y = 10” here and “Y = 50000” here. Eventually, I think it must have been at least 20 minutes, possibly closer to an hour - hard to say quarter a century afterwards - the chin of one of them started visibly shaking and he started looking really scared. And the other one was starting to look really bad as well. And they basically just abruptly stopped the conversation and without much of “bye!”, just turned out and got away from my door with quite some pace!
I did not know to look for one of them being the “boss”, so I do not know what happened for sure, but now I’m figuring out it probably went so that the more experienced person of those two started to seriously lose their faith and initiated an escape maneuver.
