MoonageDaydream--
Thanks for your thoughtful post. Not sure how to respond to it.

All I can tell you is what is in the original SUNDS post. That...thing, that awful soul stealing thing that freezes men's chests, that makes it impossible to breathe, that petrifies with terror with the image of Medusa on Athena's shield, came from a church. Came from from a church where people say much the same things you are saying about love, "peace" and yet what I experienced was the opposite of that.

So, yes, when I broke from that paralysis and pursued the Old hag, what the SUNDS phenomenon is called in Western cultures and found where it had been sent from I killed it. I would say that my doing so was out of love -- not for those who sent the thing to defeat an enemy an "unbeliever" but for those who wish to be free, who wish to have a choice, who wish to believe that one can be angry and act out of anger for love.

To liberate love from "peace" that is false.

Hummer
