selkie at 10:41am on 15/11/2006Dear Representatives Of Christianity in America,
Don't you have some kwashiorkor to stave off in Africa? Don't you have some shame to dole out to the dictators of interesting countries ending in -stan? Don't you have lots of arable land in equatorial South America, so you can grab a hammer and get on with housing those disenfranchised indigenous peoples living in rusty tin shacks?
And don't you have enough to do here at home?
Please get off my metaphorical lawn. We don't want to hurt, scare, recruit or gayvangelize you. We just want the right to worship -- each according to the dictates of his or her own conscience -- rear our children, serve on the neighborhood board, volunteer for armed service, volunteer for soup service, give to Heifer International at the winter holidays, and have wills, shared property and even shared taxes on our eventual estate, just like you.
Stop preaching hatred in doctrine's clothing. It isn't winning you any converts.
