Well if it’s true that a few angry fundamentalists will be the only humans left then I guess it’s comforting to know that the few remaining polar bears will have something to eat.

I had neighbors that were members of Jehovas witnesses

The youngest daughter was sexually assaulted at a trailer park in East Windsor in the late 70s when she was knocking on doors for the church

You were a child when you knocked on those doors, instructed to do so by religious leaders whom you understood to be authorities on how to live your life. There's no need for you to apologize.

The chilling thing is that to the extent those religious leaders attended seminary, they knew full well beyond any doubt that the Bible was NOT the word of God. Why didn't they tell you? As Bart Ehrman likes to say, your guess is as good as mine.

Love Bro. Bart. I knocked doors with the full knowledge that it was rude and elitist (I know something you don’t) to do so.

I hope for this "melting" outcome, and, like Susan, I apologize for the door knocking I did to spread that fundamentalist propaganda.

It’s the paternalistic in us. We know best. You’re liable to make the wrong choice so here, we will make the choice for you.

I’m sorry. We don’t believe that you can. Thus, we will pass draconian laws for your own good.
