oooo do I detect a sarcasm tantrum lh?

My dad used to go to atheist meetings. Whats the big deal?

..........................................

When my neighbor directly across the street told me his family was being attacked he got my attention.
I asked When who how!
He said the queers gays and faggots are attacking evangelicals.
Inside part of me was relieved and part of me revulsed.

When I told him that I thought that preaching that kind of hate was the limit of ignorance and needless hate.

He simmered for 3 weeks until he invited me in his foyer one day, told me to stand in one spot and not move while he blocked the door with has hand on the knob while lecturing me on the need to attack tolerence - the true enemy of God.

I did not challenge his holding me captive but let him relax a bit and then took my leave.

Its sad that perfectly good neighbors are soured by something as stupid as a gospel of hate.
