Dear Ronnie, yes, I have read "Fear" and also all those comments - at least up to my own last one. As you know I´m open for discussion in general and I consider it completely okay if people disagree with me, but that´s always a matter of style. If debates can´t be done in a civilized manner, then I don´t have any sense in having them.
Religion is not the only topic where it seems you can´t discuss with most people - the death penalty, for example, is another one. I have no idea why people start getting aggressive against others who "dare" not to follow their arguments...Is it a feeling of power when they´re trying to insult the other one? Or is it a painful experience they had in the past?
Why do some people feel the need to come with arguments like that spelling of Korea? THAT was indeed a "crappy argument"... On the other hand, me saying I wouldn´t change my mind about faith was no argument at all, it was just a statement of fact. ;-)
Well, no matter...I for my part never needed to call others "whatever-bashing idiots" and I never will. In fact, among my friends, there are more atheists than Christians and my best friend, as you know, is gay (just to say; as it was one accusation against religion that it says homosexuality is wrong). A little funny is, obviously those words were meant to prove faith wrong....in my eyes, they did exactly the opposite. How often did Jesus tell his followers the world would hate, attack, slander them...? (And in my case, it´s not only people who are against religion that do that, but also strictly conservative Christians. Did you know that, considered exactly, I´m excommunicated because I don´t believe that women shouldn´t be priests?)
Well....I told you I wouldn´t follow your blog any more. I made an exception here...but no more in the future. And PS: The one who finds mistakes in my spelling and grammar may keep them. ;-)
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post, and I'm sorry for your loss. Even if you'd lost touch with her, something so sudden and inexplicable is never easy to take.
Hey Eric, I have another letter I am putting together for you right now. I havn't finished or sent it yet. But I wanted to know if the prison will let you recieve paper, pencils, pens, envelopes (stationary materials) to help you out. I work in a dollar store and it would be easy for me to compile the items for you, including a few stamps. I just am not sure if you are restricted from these items or if they took them from you for some other reason. As always, sorry for the lags in communication. I hope you are doing as best as can be expected. Write back when you can. Jessica
