If I had $100,000 and I was willing to bet on something. If my choices were to take advice from one of your imams or advice from Hawkings...you better believe Im putting my money on the color and number he picks.

It's like trying to convince a starving person not to eat unhealthy food until it is cooked.. The logic, danger etc.. are irrelevant. because the motivation is not based in logic..
I am interested in what he has to say though..
Thats why I prefer to use emotional arguments around them... that is what they are used to, and that is what they accept.
Hard core logic were someone has to seperate their wants and needs and fears and feelings is NOT something most fundies like, therefore they scorn it.
Exaplining to them how their Jesus sits on his all powerful hands while he watches a little child get raped and murdered, while she calls out for Jesus to help..and he does NOTHING...is quite effective in giving them a touch of the doubt.
