It's been unfashionable to be loudly or manifestly religious for quite a long time in mainstream American society.

Though the trait originates in the useless prejudices of the useless English, in a pluralistic, liberty-oriented culture it is a habit coincidentally serving several valuable purposes, none of which will require the clarification two decades hence that they would need just now. Unfortunately, liberty itself being entirely out of fashion among the nonces for the nonce to the fore, there is not much point either elaborating on or expecting the sorts of reforms which an aficionado of liberty, not at all the same as a soi-disant "libertarian," would appreciate.

Wow, has anyone told you you're a compelling writer with insightful takes? They are wrong and misleading you. You should self edit these sorts of missives.

[throwanem]

For what? Obviously I have touched something within you, so unless you mean me to believe I should consider your interest beneath my effort - which I assume would be less ambiguously stated, were that your intent - I don't understand what you could be getting at here.

You are fond of the expressive trope of the gnomic and obscure NPC from a fantasy game. Do you have any magic potions you could sell me? I have gold. Maybe I could trade a battle axe for a spell of regeneration?

[throwanem]

Have you and I played games before? You have an abrasive and needlessly antagonistic style I think I recognize.

[ctrlp]

I think not. I regret my comment directed at you, it was a pointless rebuke. You did not deserve it.

[throwanem]

That's generous of you to say and I respect it. No harm done. It's the times.
