There is an interesting point contained in the need to shout
at others that they are damned (we have a regular here who
appears in Spring and hangs around haranguing until Fall when,
I presume, he hears a call to go to Florida).

My guess is that the need to do so stems from wanting to be
right.  I find that those people, and many other sour-pussed
born-agains are inside grinding against isolation, and that
their talk about christian fellowship carries the stress on
fellowship, not on christian.  Of course, they strongly object
to that view.

Wouldn't it be nice if all these good people could keep each
other just friendly company?  I think then their need to preach
about would cease and they could function as useful members of
society.
