What's up with this?

I'm still looking for the brite line, Po. I hadn't meant that to be ridiculing--I don't feel ridicule as I express myself--but then I hadn't meant the "imaginary friend" thing to be ridiculing, either. I'm still struggling with the problem of how to explain to believers what it is about what they say and do that offends the beliefs of people who believe as I do. I think that it is necessary that they understand yet there doesn't seem to be any acceptable way to convey the basis of that understanding without offending.

Can you be more specific about the shortfall in my communication? I'm trying.
