..I've actually thought about that issue a bit and I've come to the
conclusion that the best thing I can do for everyone involved is to
avoid those situations whenever possible. Not because I believe that
rabid, foaming at the mouth, not listening to anyone else evangelicals
are beyond help, but because they are beyond my ability to help and
once I realize something like that is beyond my ability I immediately
have to consider the impetus to do no harm, which is a very possible
outcome of engaging something beyond my ability. Often I get the sense
that my responsibility is to leave things alone. I wonder if the
negative feelings so often expressed in the face of such a situation is
at least partly due to the feeling helplessness in the face of such a
destructive and misguided method.



I think that sometimes (not every time) it can be great generosity that
allows people to be what and who they want to be, even (and maybe
especially) if we don't agree with them.
