It's All in the Math

See, your numbers are dropping. Historically, you've always been the bad guy. You were the one that laughed when Noah built the ark. Later, you yelled with the crowd- you suggested Barabbas be spared because the radical message of this Jesus terrified you. You burned Joan of Arc at the stake. You saw occupants of a land you simply believed destined to be yours as mere savages, and by the name of God you propped their heads up on tent poles. You stole and you slaughtered and you thanked your Creator as you drank their blood. Abolitionists you laughed at, being certain that these Africans had no capacity for intelligent thought or real, human emotion. You profited from their misery, much like you do today. You mocked the brave women who marched for their right to vote, and you lynched runaways to set an example- to you, this was simple loss prevention. Even yesterday, when they moved in next door, you worried about the property value of your home. Today, though divorce is somehow perfectly acceptable to you, you manage to claim, straight-faced and all, that we must defend the sanctity of marriage. Meanwhile, you laugh at us "sentimentalists" who threaten to disrupt your irresponsible, answer-to-no-one way of life. Your appetite is your God, and we radicals are your demons.

Hear me well: Your numbers are slipping, while we continue to gain momentum. We will chip away at your argument until the mountain falls, and future generations will see us as revolutionaries and heroes.

You, well... you'll be the bad guy.
