It's been a special treat to be accused of being a sanctimonious, self-righteous, proselytizing bitch around here, while having anti-Christian statements lauded as high good humor on a regular basis by people who don't know what they are talking about. I find the process of de-vangelization nearly as interesting as evangelization. I would have to admit, on a good day, that this has been in general a strengthening process for me, when all is said and DONE.

Too bad those of you who delight so much in bashing things don't do it at Beliefnet, where there are whole boards dedicated to vigorous criticism and challenge of people's various beliefs. You can rag on anything there, with plenty of company to egg you on. But then that would mean playing with people who have been practicing dealing with the absence of logic this kind of bashing is founded upon.

Me, I am not so good at that. I still have the ridiculous hope that people will actually think, make sense, listen, and come to some kind of resolution in an effort to grow as human beings. I forget, see, that this just isn't the agenda involved in playing Basherama.

But I am working on it.
