[Noumenon]

Deep, deep down inside, and with the vestiges of what remains of their consciences - they know that they are wrong. Wrong about, well, almost everything.

Nothing else can account for the over-the-top, spiral-eyed hatred that they have for anything or anyone who puts them back in touch with what they have turned their on so long ago.

It means acknowledging their guilt; it's the collapse of their whole, selfish raison d'etre.

Any signpost to the truth REALLY makes them angry.

Scripture, a Cross, the Ten Commandments, a pro-life bulletin board, Sarah Palin, Carrie Prejean...

All because they have a God given conscience to KNOW what is right and wrong, and to KNOW that they are on the wrong side of that equation.

If they’d only accept the fact that we’re ALL sinners, and that none of us are “a good person” as they’d like to believe of themselves, their lives could be so much happier and at peace.
