I'm not trying to be upset with you at all. I'm upset with you because you're saying things that are upsetting me. But by all means, if I'm misinterpreting you, then tell me.
[She can practically feel his scowl on the back of her head and feels her own irritation swelling up, but she keeps her voice level.]
You said that people who choose to do dangerous things in the name of a deity are not my problem. And when I said that I don't view it as them 'choosing' to do these things because they're being manipulated, you said that if they're too weak-willed to stop themselves from being controlled, then that makes them stupid. To me, that comes across as you thinking they deserve what they get because they're not as strong-willed or are more easily swayed. There's a difference between not intervening with strangers because you're not personally invested and actively thinking they're not worth the effort anyhow.
