Life would be so much easier if people had conversations like this whenever they met each other. And if those conversations were always honest.
Just a heads up - although it's not going to be a major focus, I'm not going to shy away from talking about religion and spirituality in this strip. But then, anyone who's read my previous work should expect that.

0014-------------------------------------
(Thursday. EXT: EB and JH are loading boxes into EB's car)
EB: Alright, we might as well get it all over with: family, religion, politics, and psychological hangups - you first.
JH: Oh... uh... only child, raised by crazy-fall-on-the-floor Pentecostals, but I never really got into it. On my thirteenth birthday, they said I didn't have to go to church with them any more, so I didn't. I guess I consider myself a Deist, y'know, like the Founding Fathers.
---------------
JH: Politically, I guess I lean left, but I'm not really passionate about it. I'm fanatical about cleanliness - you kinda have to be, if you work in the food service industry - but other than that, I like to think I'm pretty stable. Your turn.
---------------
EB: Well, I'm a middle child between girly-girl sisters, I don't have any phobias, and I basically agree with anything Jon Stewart says - the comedian, not the Green Lantern. My Mom died of thyroid cancer when I was thirteen, I got mad at God for not existing, and spent a rather embarrassing adolescence as a Satanist.
---------------
JH: Oh. LaVeyan?
EB: See that? What you did just there? You just put more thought into my religion than I did in three years.
