I've been meaning to ask you to explain this phrase. :]

What would cause the top of someone's head to peel off?

Losing hope? Having everyone in their faith community lower their expectations? The problem of making new friends? It could be anything. Once you give up being tolerant of one stupid idea, the sky's the limit. Most people don't know and have an irrational fear of the unknown. It's a lethal combination, as far as testing the waters is concerned. The middle ground between tolerance and intolerance of dumb ideas is a deep agnosticism; we all know what lamers those folks are. They're trying to re-brand "hope" as "doubt" or extol the virtues of maintaining a certain sort of studied ignorance.

Who knows whether or not they're "faking it"? Yes, one can be agnostic about that, as well.
