troubling the troubled.

I have read a few things that have upset and amused me this last week.

One was another local article about the doings of various religious denominations. The comments section again contained posts from all the usual characters, from the fundamentalists anti-religionists to the fundamentalist religionists. If I get too emotionally involved, it stops being amusing.
One of the funny things I see here is that both sides express the same levels of faith, but on opposing viewpoints: the anti-'s expressing the same level of faith in their own beliefs as the pro-'s in their own.

The upsetting article was prompted by a segment that I heard on the Michael Medved Show late last week. He had the author of the article All The Single Ladies on. I went and printed the article and read it.
To forbear from over burdening the reader here, I will simply say that I was stirred up in frustration in comparison to my own unmarried situation; a little bit mystified by the comprehension of some of the hinted at reasoning of why a woman might be unwilling to marry at a given point in time/life; and dumbfounded by the reasoning and ideology that this article points out as existing within society.
