OH, Duckie. I have great experience in disliking people. Truly, I do. To do it properly, you must at least get to know them on an individual basis. You can't simply see Hannah MOntana on TV and say, "I hate her," and have any validity (though, I do hate Hannah Montana but...)
It seems to me that you have devoted more than enough time to give your hatred of this douchebag a true and proper foundation. Don't waste time arguing with him because he's only trained to hear the sound of his own voice -- though I would love to debate the religious with him since it appears he's created a theology that, well, lets him do what he wants. Might as well be worshipping himself -- which he is and expects everyone else to do also.
Better than focusing on El Douchebago, focus on grabbing your sweet friend by the shoulders and shakin' some sense into her. This thing with the dog, i.e. "she knows who to be scared of" is troubling. Arrogance like that, like the other things he said, forbodes of violence. Trust me, I know. He should be kicked to the curb, phone number blocked, deleted from all friends lists and such within the same 60 second period of time.
Me thinks the Almighty must get really tickled at this guy and "his god."
So, you see, Grasshopper, you are better at disliking than you think. You are well on the way to a degree if you continue to sit at the knee of the master -- me. :-)
It turns out this guy has a doctor's note for any charges of asshattery: three years ago, he was in a very serious car accident and suffered a brain injury that has made it very hard for him to edit what comes out of his mouth or realize its effect on people. Apparently he hates this about himself, but I'll have to take Lizz's word for that, as he never once apologized during the course of the conversation.
I still don't feel bad.
I asked Lizz at dinner tonight: "The entire time he was here, could he allow any other two people to have a conversation that wasn't about him? The entire time he was here, did anything genuinely kind come out of his mouth?"
He should be kicked to the curb, phone number blocked, deleted from all friends lists and such within the same 60 second period of time. I told her he was bad news, and I didn't like him, but she's a big girl and can do as she likes. If it makes her happy, I'm happy for her, and I'll do my best to be civil to him. I just really wish she'd run the other way.
But she likes the "brutal honesty," because she never has to wonder what he's thinking or if he's lying to her. There's a kind of safety in that.

And he makes her laugh.
