Chavos,
I recognize you're trying to do the right thing, and I respect that. You've got a benefit of the doubt clause built into your religon, and you're actually paying attention to it, unlike the folks I am talking about. It's just something that we're going to have to disagree on.
So here's the deal: I advocate ridicule and exposure for Fundamentalists. I believe that they should be disowned by their religions. A religion that won't disown it's fundamentalists needs to be shamed into doing so.
There will be collateral damage. There will be wounds to the self esteem. Sides will be split and asses will fall off from laughter. It ain't a shooting war, though, so nobody dies and no one gets hurt. If I cannot shame you into putting these mad dogs out of your church, please don't try to tell me I can't abuse them through the church windows, because I'm not going to listen to it.
At the same time, don't let me stop you from trying to get these idiots to realize that saying they're Christian isn't enough, and that faith in Christ, while enough strictly speaking, isn't anywhere near as good as actually doing what the Man said. Loving one's neighbor, charity as a virtue not as a tax writeoff, that kind of thing. I wish you all the success in the world in doing that. Makes my end of things so much easier.
