Yes! *lol* Finally someone who found that as stupidly amusing as I did when I wrote it~!
<3 I suppose it has rather migrated into note-form now, aye?

Stupidly amusing? Naaaah... I found it quite clever. xD With the way some authors seem to write books only to show off their vocabulary, it can feel like they're speaking another language sometimes. That line nailed the sensation I get when I read those kinds of books.

I'm so glad.
*chuckle* And, yes. Cas is my way of venting the frustration caused by that behaviour, actually. <3
Ah, yes, the journal entry.

Are 'they' the other werewolves. The ones who WANT to be werewolves?

And they're forcibly recruiting street people?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Probably. Plus, if they're weak, they'll take to it because of the strength and sense of belonging it entails.

Easy victims. The way in which faith proposes to 'help' broken people is actually one of my main problems with religion.
...
... Actually, it might me my one main problem with religion.

My problem is the "we're better than everyone else" motif, and the general elitism and snobbery, etc. And the idealism.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*thoughtful* The idealism is very often beautiful, though, I find: at least on a fundamental level.
And the elitism could be readily accepted as long as they kept to themselves and didn't interfere with other people's lives. Every group has some level of elitism, otherwise it wouldn't be a group (which is essentially why I dislike groups).

But they're so superior and loud about it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Ugh, not me. *sigh* i guess I don't like people like that.

*smile* We all seem quite horrible in someone's eyes, though, don't we? Don't you think, in a hypothetical situation where you believed in God, that your first reaction to those that didn't would be pity as well?
From that, there's a very small step to condescension (seeming or not).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unless you don't feel sorry for them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yes. Because then you will already be at condescension.
But that is just a case of lacking perspective - I do believe all humans capable of learning empathy. As long as they aren't directly interfering with my life (which current religions absolutely are, of course), I don't mind them condescending against me. If I minded, that would be little more than confirming their opinions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*sigh* I guess I can't let go of that--the condescension against me. It drives me crazy, like I need to lash out back at them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
...! I didn't really think of it that way.

*slight smile* I never think of it any way but that. <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
*cocks head* But why does it bother you? I mean, you don't even respect them, do you?
Surely, if you loathe them so much, their condescension should be encouraging. It means you're very far from being what they are, or what they want you to be.

So are a lot of non-religious people. Though, of course, I do understand what you mean. It's just something I feel I would be prepared to tolerate if it made them happy at only that little inconvenience to the rest of us.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Why, yes, that was my point.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yep. Common missionary behaviour: go after the weak of mind, body, or both.
It may of course be discussed whether this tactic hails from a wish to save the weak, or from a wish to extend the faith without too much hard work. In this particular case, I'd say it's the latter.

*wink* Now you're getting it.
I just thought the natural thing for them would be to gang up.

LOL aww... now Castor is left out! poor guy. he's so caring.

He is that, actually.

Hahaha! Poor Cas. Poor Tilda.
Aw, I'm assuming "they" are survivors of the Silver-incident?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Poor Cas~? *amazed* This is indeed a breakthrough.
And I'm assuming that was a rhetorical question. *raises eyebrow* I'll tell you it's a good guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For once.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
*shrug* It's still the same.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'll be sure to be very creative, then.
*hums* Hmm, what? Who said that? Me?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Probably not.
I really haven't the foggiest.

*bland stare*
Ah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Maybe. *bland smile*

Many hours with a very patient mirror. *bland smile*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mmhm~. *rests head in hand* I envy it. Of course, I wouldn't have shown nearly as much patience ... *pointed wink*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why do you think I chose the mirror?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'm glad of that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, I've been looking at it since birth, you know. I guess it just doesn't affect me anymore.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, normally I don't pay much attention to it at all, actually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
*slight cough* That's ok. I usually don't wear much at all when I'm at home.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
*stops* Really? *leans closer to check* But it's really quite pretty, you know. Oh, and I'm sorry about the t-shirt. When I'm at home, I don't really bother to put on something that isn't see-through.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's ok. I usually don't wear much at all when I'm at home.

*wry smile* You're like Sara, then. It's quite the interesting habit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*shrug* I guess it's just one way of shedding the days worries and relaxing.
