It would also extend to a liberal believer who refuses to budge from an illogical argument. However, it is the more liberal believers who have already done some thinking and compromised a fundamentalist position. I, myself, became a liberal believer after beginning to think, then jettisoned it all after I studied, argued, and thought some more. With luck, Mo will think hard--Nah, not likely. My mantra: The unexamined belief is not worth believing. Hi Iatsot: although I said “all” fundamentalists, please note that I didn’t say, “only” fundamentalists.

Barmaid slammed them both, and it applies as well to all fundamentalists of every religion." Why only fundamentalists? “Jones is correct.

Why only fundamentalists?

It seems appropriate, somehow. Madalyn Murray O'Hair certainly made history. There's humour in this comic, too. It is schadenfreude, but I don't feel too guilty. Ridicule may be the only way to actually affect their beliefs. Zeus only knows, reasoning with them doesn't. Just saw the ‘Well behaved women don’t make history’ bumper sticker again today.

He's thinking! Rant will follow. Maybe. Wish we could see Barmiad's eyes. On the other hand, imagining her look is easy enough, since I have always been surrounded by Uppity Women. Thank Goddess. Or, as Poor Richard says [stealing straight from Saint Abbey], "Thank God I am an atheist." He’s thinking! He’s thinking! Rant will follow. Maybe. Wish we could

Sure, violence has been the reaction of many fundamentalists, but in debate where there are only a few present, most often the believer, when challenged with such logic, will quickly change the subject. Even so, whether the reply comes in violence or subject change, the questioner did, indeed, win the argument, even though the believers refuse to acknowledge it. A resort to violence simply shows the believers deep insecurity. Trevor, I somewhat disagree.
