This is why anyone with faith that tries to live a righteous life is seen as “imposing” their faith on others.
The “others” know that the example is the right one to follow, but they don’t want the discomfort of that example to even exist. Its mere existance is an “imposition” on their own wicked lives because it makes them uncomfortable.
This is what you’re seeing with the viscious attacks on Sarah Palin. She bothers their consciences, she makes them uncomfortable by example.
Look at the “wonder woman” (linda carter) story from yesterday. Carter obviously isn’t smart enough to rationally filter her response. She came right out and stated that Palin was trying to force her viewpoint on others, when she’s done nothing of the sort.
