Oh, friends, but is it ever hard. This mosque near Ground Zero thing has everyone's panties in a knot and I have been thisclose to posting things on facebook and getting snotty and generally breaking my new rule.
I have given in and read a few articles that people have posted on the non-panty-twisted side, one of which was basically a map of the area, what is already there, and a big "shut up" to the freak-out crowd.
I find it difficult because it is one of the cases where I see people betraying much of what they claim to hold dear and just being racist, xenophobic.....people. (Almost swore there.)
So I'm going to keep away from the articles, even the ones I'm sure I'll agree with, because I just. cannot. handle. reading one word that comes out of Sarah Palin's mouth. Among others.
And I'm already angry and snotty and going against what I really think is important. But it's my blog and I just wanted to vent a little bit.
Now I'll go do something productive, like reading The Problem of Pain and work on explaining this whole theodicy thing once and for all. You're welcome.
