Weeds in the Garden

To all of those who claim I should substitute my own judgment with their dogma before I can be thought of as good and worthy, the answer is NO! I come from the fundie land of West Virginia, and I know a bible thumper when I see one. One does not have to be a Christian to be a bible thumper. Nor does one have to use their bible. The lawmakers, the would-be authoritarians can spring up in any group. It is a common personality type. They are like poisonous weeds. They flourish because thinking for yourself is hard, and the “saved” vs. “unsaved” mentality is beguiling. But I will not fall for it. So get out of here with your “musts” and “shoulds” and your threats of condemnation. I will not serve your ego.
