The letter writer seemed like a Christian to me. I really can't imagine someone of any other religion (or, really, the majority of Christians) claiming that Christianity is the only religion that involves faith.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I'm sorry, ND. Totally their loss.

ND, so sorry about the UCI job. Definitely their loss.

Sucky ND. May a dreamier job be just around the corner, and lucky you! You're available!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Very sorry and surprised. It's their loss indeed. May this turn out to free you up for something better (and, speaking as a low-level academic worker bee, I wouldn't be surprised if, even though you didn't get this, the whole process does lead you to another open door somewhere down the line).

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
The former deputy director here used to say to folks that didn't get jobs here that they didn't match the needs of the institution at that time. They may have had outstanding qualifications, but just didn't fill the specific holes that we needed filling then. I don't know if this is any consolation, but I've found it helpful. Still, all the platitudes in the world don't keep this from sucking right now.
I'll keep some ~ma your way that a better job comes open soon where you and the position are the best fit possible, and that you get that one.
