all hail the oldest new
Neighbor 1: Happy Sunday morning, Neighbor 2. What are you up to?
Neighbor 2: Nothing much. How about you?
N1: Oh, I am heading off to gather with my like-minded neighbors to worship our creed, Creed X. Want to come along and join us?
N2: No thanks. I am a believer in Creed Y.
N1: But Creed X is what a lot of people around here believe. And we have for ages!
N2: That's fine. But Creed Y - although this is little known 'round these parts - is far older. My ancestors followed it since long before a "Creed X" even existed. Likewise, my family and relatives do. So it's my thing.
N1: But by arriving after Creed Y, Creed X improved upon it. Creed X is better.
N2: How do you know it's "better"?
N1: Well, look how long it's been around!
