I know what she was *trying* to do. The point is that she was doing it with forked tongue while professing a wish for joy in my direction, and was doing it in a state of complete ignorance to boot. You're the self professed genius here, I should think you'd see her error once I'd pointed it out. Alas, however, bigotry dressed up as intellectualism is still bigotry. > dmb says: > What if I said Astrology was my source of joy? What if I said it > works for me and demanded that everybody refrain from denigrating it > because it my source of joy? MP: Back up. I'm not demanding that "everybody refrain from denigrating" anything. I'm asking *Marsha* why she insists on denigrating *my* joy as a means of substantiating *hers* for no reason other than she is completely ignorant of how I come by it and has read some things RMP wrote that lead her to be convinced of hers. If you said Astrology was your joy, I'd say "ok, to each his own." If you said atheism is your joy, and I say to that as well "ok, to each his own." But there is a difference between atheism and anti-theism, and don't ever think you can pretend the latter to be the former. One is affirmative, the other destructive. So when you say: > Just for the record, I get no joy from astrology. I get my joy from > stealing your joy. ;-) I just sigh, because we all know that when you need to build yourself up by knocking others down, you are at the point where it is obvious you have nothing of your own to offer but can only define yourself in contrast to others. > dmb says: > That's why it starts in your own head > and heart and hands and not with some big plan for everybody. MP: So why do you keep attacking what I do with my own head and heart and hands? MP ---- "Don't believe everything you think."
