double w00t!

Here’s the thing, Jeremy, since you missed my point entirely. In the video that began this thing you used someone you sneer upon as an inferior being to illustrate your contempt for believers. I countered with a really smart person, who in no way fits your silly stereotype of mindless believers in God, and you didn’t like that because it disturbs your self-serving, judgmental, cherry-picking little conceit. And here’s the other thing—you deal entirely in stereotypes, as I mentioned above, and not in human beings. You belittled that pathetic woman but what do you know about her? Is she a good neighbor who brings hot food to a family struggling with financial problems? Is she kind to children? What do you care? What do you know about that Pope? Mightn’t he be a good and gentle man who reached out to suffering humanity? What do you care? You’ve already judged him by of his clothes and furniture. Wow! Are you ever deep! And about those clothes—did it ever occur to you that someone, probably someone who worked long and hard for a living, spun that thread, wove that cloth, tailored those robes, and fashioned that “throne” and was able to put bread on the table and a roof over his family’s head? So what, right? Sounds more to me that you’re the one who’s afraid of what you don’t know. More interested in thrones and costumes than in humans. Stereotypes are so much easier to deal with—so simple, so manageable. True courage, real curiosity, and pure honesty—open to where truth leads, even if it’s outside the steel bear trap that’s snapped shut in your head. There’s no honesty in stereotypes and assumptions. They’re barbed wire fences keeping THEM out and YOU safe.

this makes me happy!

You were right…there WAS a bat in that cave!!!
