Predictable
There's nothing that brings out the wild dog pack of self-congratulatory, hateful, I'm-so-much-more-evolved-than-you-spiritual-idiots (like Ben) than someone writing anything heartfelt about Christianity, especially someone as nakedly self-referential as Annie.
As a professional writer, I sometimes find her maudlin and whiny, but more often I find her honest and dead-on with her perceptions of the insecurities and terrors that sit cheek by jowl with the joys and wonders of everyday life.
Haters, hate on with your "anything spiritual is delusional twaddle" invective. You only make yourselves look like fools. True voices like Ms. Lamott's are rare treasures. Could it be that you wish you could write 1/10 as well as she, and knowing that you lack the intellect or talent, you fall back on bile as your only alternative?
