When you start a conversation about one topic but other topics end up just falling out of nowhere like a sudden rainstorm.
"Hey did you talk to your mom about getting her spaghetti recipe?"
"Yeah, but we ended up also talking about nuclear power, cloth diapers, and who would win in a fight between John Cena and Sarah Palin. It was a real rainfall discussion."

A rational dialogue in which all the bullshit gets washed away, and straightforwardness is valued over emotional manipulation. Alludes to the gentle fall of rain, as rational discourse is more cleansing and beneficial than typical heated arguments driven by anger.
Instead of another rant, let's try and have a rainfall discussion about Islam. Both sides are much too emotionally charged to make any real progress.

a rainfall discussion is a rational discussion where all the bullshit rhetoric eventually erodes and washes away during the conversation

FlowerBomber - I think what Malala Yousafzai's (the girl who got shot in the head by the Taliban) father said about The Satanic Verses and uproar and offence it caused in Pakistan is important with situations like this:
"First, let's read the book and then why not respond with our own book" and then said "Is Islam such a weak religion that it cannot tolerate a book written against it? Not my Islam!".
Diplomjodler - No wonder she got a bullet to her head. Extremist ideas can never survive a rainfall discussion. They can only exist by suppressing dissent. That's what all this shit is about.

My dad said ethics come from religion but then I turned it into a rainfall discussion and he relented.
