Man, the fundamental people I've talked to in the past have always been nutters.
However, I was easily able to tolerate them when they stopped trying to pronounce their fate at every turn and force it on others.
Sort of reminds me today: When we were trail walking, someone had scraped "JESUS" into the dirt trail.
My family and I scraped it out. We're not anti-Christian, but we've found a lot of unsettling Christian tendencies lately, namely, the posting of "JESUS" signs all over the telephone poles, huge crosses in their back yard that light up at night, and people sitting in front of huge crosses to play music on street corners on a few occasions.
We're... pretty sick of it. It's too creepy and cult-like, you know? I can't imagine the reaction I'd get if I started posting huge Stars of David everywhere and wrote "MOSES." Not that Moses is really comparable to Jesus; he wasn't the messiah of Judaism, but since he's the father of Judaism I figure that's the closest relation possible in Judaism.
