Quote:Actually, you've got it backwards. It's you fundies who want to keep everyone in the dark.
A better analogy would be you repeatedly shining a large flashlight directly into our eyes while....
* not understanding that we actually can see just fine without it;
* not grasping the concept that a bright light shone directly into one's eyes does more harm than good;
* thinking we don't really mean what we say when we politely ask you to point your flashlight elsewhere;
* not understanding that it won't make any difference if we sit and hear you ramble on about how a flashlight shining into your eyes changed your life for the better and it'd do the same for us if we only allowed it to hit our eyes for a little longer, perhaps from a different angle than we're used to (see point 3); and finally...
* not grasping the concept that, even if the company that manufactured your flashlight printed explicit instructions for its user to go out and shine it in other people's faces, you following those instructions are still unacceptably irritating, and do NOT, in fact, deserve immunity from criticism simply because the flashlight manufacturer says it's okay.
