Mark: Why is that?

Crystal: Of all people asking why, I'm not sure. Its everything, the dogma, the mass, this sort of blind faith in athority figures, books and tradition.

Mark: Oh. My family was never very religious, and I would have never bothered with the Temple of Dionysis had my former girlfriend gotten me involved. We broke up, but I found that I was still very much a part of the Temple.

Crystal: What degree are you?

Mark: Pardon

Crystal: How far have you advanced?

Mark:We really are not supposed to discuss our degrees with non-initiats although sometimes it does slip out. I'm second degree, Son or Daughter of the moon and Sun. Well, in this case Son of the Moon and Sun. I had first degree before my girlfriend broke up with me. Its not like a race or a big deal or anything. No one is going to presure you to take degrees.

Crystal: Is your girlfriend still a member?

Mark: I'm not sure, she moved away and I lost contact with her. It is definatly for the best. I don't want her back in my life. And now I have Sarah anyway.

Crystal: I've never had a boyfriend.

Mark: Have you ever wanted one?
