Reply #12: First my blood pressure goes through the roof...

Then I have to breathe, and I try to understand where the hatred is coming from. Many of these people carrying those tremendous grudges probably have some trauma in their past that causes them to feel the way they do.

Then later, in my car, I start getting mad again. :) I just cannot figure out the right perspective on this. On one hand, everyone tells us to keep our religion to ourselves. On the other hand, they tell us that the non-fanatical Christians should be more vocal to show the world that it is not just the asshole fundies who represent us. So which is it? Put up and shut up or speak out??
