What I really hate about Christians, Susan, is the CAPLOCKS! Just kidding. I trust that you haven't gone on this rant because I apologized but didn't answer your question about why I bait you on a recent thread. The answer may be long and complicated. I might have to admit that I can be a miserable sot and that you may the closest thing we have to a Mudcat saint. And then there's the question that Viki Gabereau discussed with Joshua Halberstam, the author of Everyday Ethics, 'If the saint is such a great guy, why doesn't anyone want to spend the afternoon with him?'

You could lighten up on your flagellant fettish though. Christianity wasn't all that bad. Even Christianity had it's lighter moments like when Constintine outlawed infanticide after he had murdered his own son and had second thoughts.

Hope you're feeling better, Susan. Looks like you found the energy to write a shitload of e-mails today. Keep up the good work, girl.
