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?
