Spikebloods have been stewing in their belief system for nearly two years now. They have accepted, just as we have, enormous personal hardship based on a pie-in-the-sky promise of salvation. The difference is that the spikebloods have undergone all the sacramental doses—baptism, communion and confirmation—whereas we purebloods have not. As a result the spikebloods have come to resent the purebloods as sticks-in-the-mud who are holding them back from the promised New Normal. At this point, most of them can never admit their error. What percentage are spikebloods in your area? What are the odds they will leave you in peace?
