In the daily Spelling Bee, it’s funny how often my last answer–the one that finally gets me to the Genius level–is a negative word. Today it was DEICIDE. That’s certainly not a top word in my vocabulary. I wouldn’t want to kill anyone, let alone a god.
Related: a pair of people came to my door yesterday to peddle Jesus. I sternly told them that I wasn’t interested, that I never would be, and that they should not come back. In retrospect, I might have been a bit harsh, but I can’t seem to make myself feel bad about it. I don’t go to their homes and try to talk them out of their religion (i.e., figuratively kill their god). I respect their beliefs, and I don’t trespass on their property. So I think it’s extremely arrogant and disrespectful of them to come here and try to push their ideas on me. They need to know it’s not OK.
