A ........ Why yes I do, the idea seems rather logical to me.
Response ...... That's rather unfortunate, however I respect your view.
Q ....... 'Are you loyal to her majesty the queen and her heirs and successors'
A ....... I'm afraid not, I find the idea of inherited status and position to be rather outdated in this day and age.
Response ....... I myself believe that I should respect my position in life and having people I can defer to as my betters through an accident of birth keeps me grounded and reminds me not to get above my social station.
Q ........ 'Are you a devotee of Roman Catholicism?'
A ......... As a matter of fact no, though I do believe in a higher power and would consider myself a Christian
Response ....... I am not a Roman Catholic either, I find the idea of papal infallibility and the concept of appealing to the almighty through the interjection of a third party other than Jesus Christ, like the Virgin Mary or various saints, to be contrary to my interpretation of scripture .... If you have a second I will show you evidence of why I hold this view by pointing you to the relevant biblical passages in this copy of the New Testament I always have in my possession ...... Having said that I am afraid that your obvious devotion to a football team other than the one I support, especially that one, makes me rather suspicious that your religious belief may well be closer to Rome than I would prefer to see.
Your experience my differ and you may find that these questions are put to you in a style which does not follow the pattern shown above .... you may also find that a response from you to the questions is not required before your answer is presumed by the questioner and the response is given in a shortened version to that shown here :greengrin
