Prejudice[2]

[mdlbear]

Reviewing some of the comments on my last post it occurred to me that, for many Christian science-fiction fans, fandom was almost certainly their first encounter with religious prejudice directed against them. And the present backlash against the excesses of the Religious Right, feeble though it is, represents the first time that I can remember public criticism of any sort being directed against Christians in the US (at least of the Protestant variety -- when I was growing up, Catholics were regarded in some parts of the country with almost as much suspicion as Jews).

I'm going to resist a number of temptations here, all of which seem likely to lead me into a swamp of bad memories and worse writing, and just drop the subject for now.

You may be right. Um; correct.
