A bit of remodeling

Observant readers will notice that the design of this blog is changing periodically as I try out new designs.  I’m mulling over a few more changes, which may include changing the name of the blog. Stay tuned…

Pseudo-religious Schadenfreude

From a message posted to a Baha’i email list that has not yet removed me from its roster:

The world seems to be reaching a most perfect state of disintegration for us to be able to teach the cause of Baha’u'llah. Let’s be ready.

I wonder if they realize what vultures that makes them seem. Or, as the Duc de la Rochefoucauld said in 1665:

Dans l’adversité de nos meilleurs amis, nous trouvons toujours quelque chose qui ne nous déplaît pas.

(See link above for translation)

Just one more reason why I’m no longer there, I suppose.
