Period. And, this guy calling her an “evil little thing” — emphasis on the diminutive — just makes me sputter. I doubly hate things like this because the dude who is allegedly standing up for religious people — I doubt he’s truly an adherent of any creed or faith, because seriously!?

I don’t think her “just be inoffensive and personable” thing is going to work either. It doesn’t work for inoffensive and personable religious girls if they’re perceived as standing in the shadow of a larger “scary” thing that society wants to reject, and unfortunately, we have learned as a society to pile on and try and stone an idea to death, even when it comes in the guise of a person…

People occasionally suck.

Can we no longer have civil discourse? Why is there no longer any value attached to good manners? I don’t understand why outrage has become the standard of conversation among us…
