I am no longer an Ultra Con, and no longer hold unrealistically idealistic viewpoints or try to persuade others what route their faith should take.

The only bright side to this viewpoint is how awfully fun it is to accuse THEM of all manner of misdeeds and debauchery when they come down with something whether it be the flu, a cold, or more serious like cancer -which must mean their sins were REALLY bad.
