I have learned to tolerate fundies

To me they have some special need and I am not sure what but I do know people are motivated by fear and greed.

Why else in eternal damnation the reward for failure and eternal life for success.
Why would the streets in Heaven be gold.

Thanks for accepting me. I am not confrontational with religious people as when they drink the kool-aide it's hard to turn back.

I am an artist, I work at home and avoid them. When they come to my door like the the JWs. i knoch back on my side and say let me out. They move away quickly. It's silly but it works.
People that deluded avoid anyone beyond their level of sanity.

I have narrow slotted window on each side of my front door. I recently put on a plaid sheet and stood there doing the boooo sound. The left even quicker.

That's a good way to have fun with it.

I tolerate them up to a certain point. When they push it on others or in government, I have a huge problem with their ignorance. Fundies flying planes into buildings will never be good neighbors.

It helps to avoid them. If something smells bad i just hold my nose and try not to step in it.

Fascinating. Do they not feel compelled to even try?

Last time I got door knockers (many years ago now), they didn't stop with "sorry, not interested", they tried to ask me some bizarre question to the effect of "well, is that what you'd usually say?" Why would they even assume that I'd usually say something different? That's what I say to anyone trying to sell something at the door.

I guess if they were not high on religion it could be something more dangerous. I wonder sometimes if there is anything more dangerous. Crack dealer kill themselves and clients who miss payments. Religious fanatics start wars.

When I see a street preacher I usually try to bug them for Chick Tracts. I'm still trying to find a copy of Dark Dungeons out in the wild.
I have a new strategy I thought up of for recruiters of a lesser calibre (such as from university Christian groups). If they ask me about Jesus or God I'll act totally bewildered like I have never heard of such entities. If they follow up, I'll interrupt with questions that someone might ask who is completely foreign to the notion of religion.

Actually, that is an excellent why to get them to start asking questions about their faith. ("Say! That cross on your necklace… what the heck does that mean anyhows?")

Let us know how this goes. It could generate some funny stories! Laughing
