- Well, Len, I think the reasoning is that God can pretty well
- take care of himself, and people dissing the Old Man are only
- putting their own eternal life in jeopardy. On the other hand,
- when a society turns against its minorities, things can get
- awfully tough for those folks. I trust I won't have to make
- a list of examples (and one need not restrict oneself to the
- states in this).
-
- I guess if I were omnipotent, I wouldn't care that much what
- y'all said about me behind my back - and I wouldn't care that
- much if you did (in a fit of self-destructiveness) advocate
- violence against me. But I think a little extra-consideration
- for those who aren't omnipotent is neither hypocritical nor
- an excessive burden to bear.
