To Scathe and Protect

There are things about Christianity, and Christians, that I want to protect. There are people whose faith I don’t want to harm. There are ideals and pleasures that I don’t want to ruin for anyone.

On the whole, however, there are many things that I hate. I want to wipe them from the face of the earth, and put a stop to the spread of them. I want to keep people from the damage that comes with being infected by them.

It’s a tough dilemma, which I face every time I open my mouth or start chattering away on a keyboard. It’s all part of the same animal, and I am not sure I can attack the false, the deceitful, the harmful and the delusional without scathing the kind, the true, the hopeful, the helpless, the innocent and the selfless.
