hate mail
I got my first piece of hate mail today from a broad we will call vd. here is what she said:You are one truly sad excuse for a human being. You can't be pro Jewish without being anti-Christian? I never really understood anti-Semitism until I ran into your blog.
my response was:
I am not anti-Christian at all. on the contrary. I’m anti-fundamentalism and anti-evangelical Christianity. They impose their agenda on “we the people”.
Taking governmental action to further their religious agenda in this country is a travesty of our democracy and it is unacceptable.
By the way, anti-Semitism is discrimination or prejudice against Jews, not Christians. You can look it up right here at Dictionary.com.
after reading said hate mail, my dear crionaberry said that what vd was saying is that now she hates jews. if that is so, I completely missed it. or I didn't want to see it. the very idea that I might've contributed to or created a jew hater isn't something so easy to digest. in fact it's downright nauseating.
I never really understood anti-Semitism until I ran into your blog keeps reverberating in my head and I can't let it go. not only has she completely misinterpreted the entire point of my christian posts, she's globalizing her disdain for ME. not anyone else, just ME, onto an already greatly comprised tribe. my tribe.
why would she do that? because she's an ignorant, kike hating dumb ass? there has to be more to it than that. or maybe that's just what I want to believe.

The idea that someone could hate Jews because of your blog is not even remotely the point. That little personality hiccup was brewing looooooonnnnng before that (she may have been hit by a random matzo ball once).
I preach more crap about hypocritical Catholics and than you do and I'm a Roman (grrrr to the pope).
I hate religious zealots period and I would love you to come over with your hatemail to...

I think relioious zealots like you lack the ability to accept the world and the daily occurences and can only get through it by pushing it all to God's will.
Shoot for taking responsibility of your own actions and try actually reading the bible for what it says and not what you want it to say.
Oh yes, guess you'll start hating wops now.
hee.
Almost wish I was gay just to make a hat-trick here.

You spoil Louie too much and therefore, I hate all dog owners! ; P
What the hey, it's an equally logical progression.
No, seriously, I'm jealous. I've never gotten to be the singular excuse for someone's disdain of anything. Maybe someone will blame me for all of the procrastinators that came before and after me.
In case you didn't know, one deluded person might not care for you, but the rest of us love you.

It's easy to be a "Christian" when you don't follow those pesky teachings on which their "faith" is based.
They should change the name from evangelicals to hypocriticals.
ps: funny boy.
ps: jewcifer seriously has an enviable life. I'd like to be him. that wouldn't suck. if the roles were reversed, I wonder what kind of dog owner he'd be.
I do believe I have found something new to obsess over for the day. oh, joy.

ps: Katie, I wrote a longer response to your respone to my email yesterday, but my Internet connection was f'ed up and it never went through. And now I don't remember what I wrote. Probably the usual verbal diarrhea.
You shocked this person who hears 24/7 in her self created exclusive world of church, Fox News, and the Young Republicans Club of nothing but how wonderful Jesus and her type of Christianity are. She honest to God may have never heard another point of view in her life. If she has, it occurs so seldom that when she does she feels the need to attack to defend what quite literally is her world. Being a little thick in the head, she reached for the easiest, in her case possibly the only, thing she could throw at you. It's no different from someone at the store calling me a white honkey bastard when they can't get their narcotics. The insult doesn't mean anything. It was just something to throw at you.
The good news is you gave her a shot to the temple and made her uncomfortable. If she can get past the racial slur phase of rebuttal you've given her a chance to open up that little brain of hers and see things from a different angle. In short, she has an opportunity to think now. My money says she won't use it, but it's more than she had before.
You did good. Now you know why I love the hate mail so......"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win." Congratulations on making it to Gandhi's phase 3....
