Interesting

I both lost and gained a follower with that last post.  I’m changing my name to Even Steven.

EDIT: It’s alwsays interesting to me when somebody stops following me because of the contents of an opinion blog, especially one in which I strove to make it clear that I wasn’t talking about how ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE ASSHOLES.  I can only assume that the person who unfollowed me took offense because they are in the habit of spending their afternoons handing out religious tracts.

I’m also stunned that some people believe that complete political and spiritual agreement is necessary for something as superficial as being friends on the Internet.  I don’t even have the same requirement for my life mates; I just ask that they’re not hateful about what they believe.  For instance, exxtramedium and I disagreed pretty harshly about capital punishment awhile ago.  Guess what: we’re still Tumblr buds.

People who are that insecure about their beliefs really make me question how fervently they really believe, if some jackass on the Internet can challenge them so deeply with a tossed-off blog that they feel the need to run and hide.
