When they show up here acting as if we need them to "save" us with their bullshit religion and eternity fantasies it is very easy to unload on them.
You got that right. This is what I mean by ugly and disrespectful.
I have had that argument before. I've been proselytized to under the cloak of caring--I care about you SO much that I will tell you why you are wrong and I am right and know better than you. It does kind of make a person want to punch them in the solar plexus.
