13. There is an undercurrent

of rage among all the religious nuts who have been forced to deny or feel guilty about their sexuality, gender identity, or any other so called "deviation" as defined by their patriarchal control freak religion. If others are not forced to endure the same or worse suffering than they did, they think their suffering was in vain. They want to control everyone because that is the only way they can control themselves. The freedom and acceptance of liberal ideology violates their fundamental sense of self - a sense of self that is built around "Christian" patriarchy and a strict hierarchy of dominance and control (this is true of men and women). Their sense of self is a house of cards and they despise us for what we see as just trying to live our lives but they see as a calculated attempt to knock down their house of cards self identity. They are profoundly self absorbed - it is ALL about them personally and everything we do is a personal attack on them (even when we don't give a flying f**k about them). They would be profoundly pathetic if they were not so dangerously contemptible!
