I am not quite so daft as that—I’m genuinely glad you enjoyed the story (presuming you did) and have no negative opinion of you or anyone who chooses to disagree with me on a matter of this kind. I found it as preposterous and heavy-handed as a Chick tract, and did not like it for that reason.
Honestly, I thought it was worthwhile just for the Pascal’s Pyramid Scheme joke; most of the text is extraneous to that main joke, which is clever and funny.

I can understand that, but I couldn’t get past the surface.
Right on. I was maybe a little over sensitive about your style of opinion.
