Scaredy cat!

If you're going to go around thinking you have to defend what you
believe in from every nut on the face of the earth, all you'll
end up doing is going around excusing yourself for what you
believe in over & over again.  Why not just believe what you
believe, & if you have to fight over it, fight over it.  My cusin
Eric got a broken nose in 4th grade, because his grandfather was
Jewish.  Eric didn't even believe in being Jewish anymore.  He'd
been brought up Unitarian.  If it comes to you, you battle it out
as best you can.  If it doesn't come to you, you leave it alone.
But you can't run around scared your whole life long.
