This morning my mother posted this to her Facebook.

I am angry today. I am not an articulate published pundit. I am not a politician. I am not an elected official. I am not a religious leader. I’m not even in the PTA. I am just an old lady who is angry and sad. “religion(insert any/all religions here) spoils everything.” Saying that will undoubtedly insult more than a few of my FB friends. Saying it on social media means that “potentially” more than my FB friends will read what I said and could be insulted. Should I be afraid that a person who takes the time to read this may be insulted, affronted, indignant, full of “righteous” anger? Will that person come to my house and kill me and my husband and my dog in the name of their god? Would I be complicit in my own murder because I don’t believe what that person believes and I don’t have the sense to shut up, keep it to myself, or worse I mocked/made joke? Today I am angry and sad.
