    Sadness, disappointment, frustration, etc.

    Hi Amanda.

    As a struggling Christian/Universalist/Whatever feminist I was as often put off by your blog as I was inspired by it.

    As much as I have disagreed, I have to say: The amount of bile poured out on you in recent days was beyond all standards of human decency. Only a person who is deeply insecure in his or her faith would go to such great lengths to practically destroy another - and I put Donohue and his lapdogs in that category. What a bunch of bloody Pharisees.

    Maybe I'm a coward for saying that I never wish to go into politics. Maybe my calling is elsewhere regardless of the fact.

    Regardless of the fact, your example has certainly educated me.

    I hope you never change.
