Yvonne Aburrow believes that Gods can appear disguised as mortals so we should show respect to every stranger, as they could be a potential divinity. A reasoned and laudable proposition, to be sure; then she goes and ruins it by getting digs in at her perceived ideological opponents. Respect, as long as you express the exact same opinions I do – then fuck off, and I’ll mangle your words and insinuate nasty things about your motivations to boot. Hospitality, as long as vagabond deities don’t show up wearing black shirts. It’s cool. She can be as big a bigot as she wants. I just don’t associate with those kinds of people. You know, the kind of people who like to mix religion and politics.
