I'm going to guess the latter is true. Some folks don't see the
forest for the trees. Jesus called them "Pharisees," and pointed
out that, when you really get down to it, there are only two rules,
and they both begin with the word "love."

I've collided with stridency again and again. You're certainly entitled
to deride, mock, and scorn whomever you will. I don't necessarily
think we face a danger of theocracy, but there are times when I
wonder if there are enough reasonable people with the ability to
engage in critical thinking left to preserve freedom. There is much
cheerleading, and I think we're missing the forest, so to speak.

But I doubt that stridency wins the hearts and minds of many.
