Sorry about the rude interruption. If the nominal person of faith who felt the need to deface my site wishes to contact me I’ll be happy to provide space to promote his or her religious beliefs.
I suggest
“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,”
“Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” (Luke 6:28-31. King James Version)
or if you prefer a more recent translation
But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also. Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men shou do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (Luke 6:28-31. American Standard Version)

When I went to visit you this morning It came up Russian in neon red on black with pop up hot links. Weird.
[Yup. I got email from a faithful reader warning me about the infraction and rebuilt my site before taking a really good look at the page. Some collateral files contained brags or boasts in English of a specifically religious nature. Next time I'll probably quarantine the bogus files before rebuilding. Thanks, Adela. --fl]

Did you really thing it was a right wingnut? I got a much stronger "Neo-Nazi" impression. The world is full of fools or, as is my favorite driving rant saying, "I am surrounded by assholes!
Glad you're recovered.
[If I thought it was a problem I'd say my problem was that I don't think the world is full of fools. :-) Yes, there's a fair amount of thoughtlessness, and pretentious callousnes. But almost everyone who surrounds me (at least online) is actually pretty wonderful. Including you. Thanks, Cheryl. --fl]

Figleaf:
If that Good Carpenter from Nazareth had a blog that was defaced, He would probably shrug and say, "Comes with the territory." After repairing His site, He would tell His readers about it in a post entitled: The Miracle of the Oafs and Phishes.
However, I think He probably would have named his site Really Divine Sex. ;-)
You handle adversity well, fl, which sets a fine example for your children and your readers.
Glad you are back!
[Divinity is someone else's department, or at least for someone else's blog, though I think it's admirable and important work. I don't think sex leads do divinity, certainly not in the capital-d sense. But I do think learning to have sex like adults might clear some of the clutter that distracts us from findind divinity elsewhere. Thanks, Kochanie. --fl]

Oafs and Phishes. Excellent.
Saying your opinions, that's one thing. Everyone's entitled. Infecting someone's blog? NOT nice. To those "bad apples" -- get a life and leave the rest of us alone to live ours.
[Thank you, KJ. --fl]

Hi Fig -
I don't think there is much I can say that hasn't been said or that you don't already know....so I'll just offer you a great big hug and kiss for your terribly sexy self.
Hugs.
Rey
[Thank you, Rey. A hug and a kiss would be wonderful. Thanks. --fl]
