I was trying to figure out if I had this “Trump derangement syndrome” that I read about in an article recently. I read somewhere that it is more his character than policies that are the problem. Being a Democrat, I do not agree with all the Republican policies, but that doesn’t mean I hate all Republicans. I try to listen and not reflexively tune them out. I feel there is room for both.

I caught the first post or two as they came out, right as I was still in the thick of cultural Christianity but not really serious about it—later, as I began shuddering at what I had been, I idly wondered to myself about this series and whether it had continued, but never enough to actually go looking for it. Thank you for bringing it back to my attention!
No problem. I’m really tempted to start over again from the beginning, but it’s such an epic website to go through.
I’m not religious anymore but I still think that was a really cool science fiction series.
