I see quite a bit of projection coming from Hunter. The first thing she tells us is how much we're in pain, etc, when it comes out that it's her own self who is in a lot of emotional pain. But the thing that annoys me about fundies is how they can be at their total worst, contributing nothing to society and even harming it, but the moment they pick up the bible and claim their love for Jesus, all of a sudden they're far better than the evil heathen atheists. I know religion has been using this as a tool for recruitment in jails, prisons, soup kitchens, and rehab centers for a long time, but the arrogance from these people is annoying.
I have a cousin who spent some time in prison, and while he was there got "saved." Now he thinks he's superior to anyone who wasn't "bathed in the blood of Jesus Christ." He's an insufferable fundie idiot, and I'm just glad I don't ever have to spend time around him or his family.
It's obvious that Hunter is using religion as a crutch at this point in her life, and I really hope she works out all her problems, but she'd better work on her own life before trying to convert those of us who don't need a crutch to get through each day. Frankly, my life is far happier now than when I was still religious. I'm not constantly neurotic about what things I'm doing might piss off God and send me to Hell. I no longer worry about what other people are doing, such as who they're having sex with. Nor do I any longer see our society swirling downward into a cesspool of sin. Plus I can now sleep in on Sunday guilt-free.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
